¹ Now even a first `covenant' had ordinances of divine service, and its sanctuary, `a sanctuary' of this world.

⁸ And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

¹⁰ `being' only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.

¹¹ But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

² a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

¹³ In that he saith, A new `covenant' he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.

⁸ Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ:

¹¹ And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known unto them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the egresses thereof, and the entrances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.

¹² they shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to all the statute of the passover they shall keep it.

⁹ They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

³⁰ Therefore shall ye keep my charge, that ye practise not any of these abominable customs, which were practised before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am Jehovah your God.

³ After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their statutes.

⁴ Mine ordinances shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am Jehovah your God.
