  "1": "Now indeed the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.",
  "2": "For a tabernacle was prepared. The first room, in which were the lampstand, the table, and the bread of the presence, was called the holy place.\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "3": "Behind the second curtain was another room, which was called the holy of holies.",
  "4": "It had a golden altar for incense. It also had the ark of the covenant, which was completely overlaid with gold. Inside it was a golden jar holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.",
  "5": "Above the ark of the covenant, glorious cherubim overshadowed the atonement lid, about which it is not now the time to speak in detail.\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "6": "After these things were thus prepared, the priests always entered into the outer room of the tabernacle to perform their services.",
  "7": "But only the high priest entered into the second room once each year, and not without blood that he offered for himself and for the people’s unintentional sins.\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "8": "The Holy Spirit showed that the way into the holy place had not yet appeared as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.",
  "9": "This is a symbol for the present time, in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able to perfect the worshiper’s conscience.",
  "10": "They are only concerned with food and drink and various ceremonial washings, regulations for the body, imposed until the time of the new order.\n\\ts\\*\n\\p",
  "11": "But Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come. He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that was not made by human hands, one not belonging to this created world.\n\\f + \\ft Other versions read,\\fqa Christ came as a high priest of the good things that are to come\\fqa*.\\f*",
  "12": "He entered into the most holy place once for all, not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, after securing eternal redemption.\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "13": "For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of a heifer’s ashes on those who have become unclean sets them apart to God for the cleansing of their flesh,",
  "14": "how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your\\f + \\ft Some ancient manuscripts have\\fqa our\\fqa* instead of\\fq your\\fq*.\\f*\nconscience from dead works to serve the living God?",
  "15": "For this reason, he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called will receive the promise of the eternal inheritance, since a death has taken place to redeem those under the first covenant from their transgressions.\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "16": "For where there is a will, the death of the one who made it must be proven.",
  "17": "For a will is only in force when there has been a death, because it has no force while the one who made it is still alive.\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "18": "So not even the first covenant was established without blood.",
  "19": "For when Moses had spoken every command in the law to all the people, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water, red wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people.",
  "20": "Then he said, “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded for you.”\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "21": "Then in the same manner, he sprinkled the blood on the tabernacle and on all the containers used in the service.",
  "22": "According to the law, almost everything is cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.\n\n\\ts\\*\n\\p",
  "23": "Therefore it was necessary that indeed the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these. However, the heavenly things themselves had to be cleansed with much better sacrifices than these.",
  "24": "For Christ did not enter into the most holy place made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one. Instead he entered into heaven itself, to appear now in God’s presence for us.\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "25": "He did not enter there in order to offer himself many times, as does the high priest, who enters into the most holy place year after year with the blood of another.",
  "26": "If that were so, he would have had to suffer many times since the foundation of the world. But now he has appeared once at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "27": "Just as men are appointed to die once, and after that is the judgment,",
  "28": "so also, Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, and will appear a second time to those who are eagerly waiting for him, not to deal with sin, but for the salvation.\n\n\\ts\\*",
