    Heb 9:610

    The Restrictions onthe Holy of Holies

    The way to God was veiled(had not yet appeared)under the old covenant. 8

    its employment, when

    sacrifices could not perfect

    the conscience. 9

    External regulationsimposed until the neworder came. 10

    Christ is the high priest of

    the good things to come. 11a

    He entered the heavenly

    tabernacle. 11b

    His own blood was His offering.

    12a

    He entered once for all, having

    obtained eternal redemption.

    His death redeemed usbelievers to receive the

    eternal inheritance. 15b

    The covenant-makerdies when he makes

    the sacrifice it requires.1617

    A new covenant I will make,not like the old one on

    stone. . .I will put my law within them,and I will write it upon theirhearts;and I will be their God,and they shall be my people.

    And no longer shall each manteach his neighbor and eachhis brother, saying, Knowthe LORD, for they shall allknow me, from the least of

    them to the greatest, saysthe LORD;for I will forgive theiriniquity, and I will remembertheir sin no more.

    1 Cor 11:25

    This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this,every time you drink it, in remembrance of me.

    Heb 9:1822

    Blood is requiredto inaugurate a covenant

    The passage quotes fromExodus 24:18

    Moses read Godscovenant

    The people agreedto obey it

    Moses sprinkled bloodto ratify it

    Later, the altar and priestswere sprinkled with blood.

    Without the shedding of bloodthere is no forgiveness. Heb 9:22b
