Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid roundabout with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; and over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercy seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH). But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, WITH Blood, which he offered for himself, and for the sins of the people:
"With this, the Holy Spirit was showing that the way into the holy place hadn’t been revealed yet while the first tent was standing. Because was a symbol for the present time. It shows that the gifts and sacrifices that are being offered can’t perfect the conscience of the one who is serving. These are superficial regulations that are only about food, drink, and various ritual ways to wash with water. They are regulations that have been imposed until the time of the new order"
*But Jesus of Nazareth, as the high priest of the future goods, for a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this building; neither by the blood of the goats nor of the calves, but by his own blood he entered once into the holy place, having obtained the eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of the bulls and of the goats, and the ashes of the heifer that sprinkle on the unclean, sanctify for the purification of the flesh: how much more the blood of Jesus of Nazareth, which was offered without blemish by the Spirit eternal? to YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty, do you purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty?
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, those who are called could receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
For where the testament is, there must also necessarily be the death of the testator. For a testament is of strength after men have died; otherwise, it has no force as long as the testator lives. Whereupon the first testament was dedicated with blood. For when Moses had spoken all the commandment to all the people according to the law, he took blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled the book and all the people, saying:
"This is the blood of the testament that YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty has commanded you".
Moreover, he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the utensils of the ministry with blood. And almost everything is purified according to the law with blood; and without shedding of blood there is no remission!
Therefore, it was necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
For Jesus of Nazareth has not entered the sanctuaries made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but to heaven itself, it appears now in the presence of YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty for us!
Nor to offer himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place every year with the blood of others; because then he must have suffered often from the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the world, it to have eliminated sin by self-sacrifice!
And as it is established that men die once, but after this judgment: so once Jesus of Nazareth was offered to bear the sins of many; and to those who seek it will appear for the second time without sin for salvation!
