^{3 Ref} and after the second vail a tabernacle that is called `Holy of holies,'

^{4 Ref} having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid all round about with gold, in which `is' the golden pot having the manna, and the rod of Aaron that budded, and the tables of the covenant,

^{5 Ref} and over it cherubim of the glory, overshadowing the mercy-seat, concerning which we are not now to speak particularly.

^{6 Ref} And these things having been thus prepared, into the first tabernacle, indeed, at all times the priests do go in, performing the services,

^{7 Ref} and into the second, once in the year, only the chief priest, not apart from blood, which he doth offer for himself and the errors of the people,

^{8 Ref} the Holy Spirit this evidencing that not yet hath been manifested the way of the holy `places', the first tabernacle having yet a standing;

^{9 Ref} which `is' a simile in regard to the present time, in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which are not able, in regard to conscience, to make perfect him who is serving,

^{10 Ref} only in victuals, and drinks, and different baptisms, and fleshly ordinances -- till the time of reformation imposed upon `them'.

^{11 Ref} And Christ being come, chief priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands -- that is, not of this creation --

^{12 Ref} neither through blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, did enter in once into the holy places, age-during redemption having obtained;

^{13 Ref} for if the blood of bulls, and goats, and ashes of an heifer, sprinkling those defiled, doth sanctify to the purifying of the flesh,

^{14 Ref} how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
