Hebrews 9:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ When everything was made ready in this way, the priests went into the ·first room [outer room; ^Lfirst tent] ·every day [regularly] to ·worship [serve; minister; perform their priestly duties; Num. 28:3]. ⁷ But only the high priest could go into the ·second room [inner room; ^Lsecond one], and he did that only once a year [Ex. 30:10; Lev. 16:15, 34]. He could never enter the inner room without taking blood [^Cfrom the sacrificial animal] with him, which he offered to God for himself and for sins the people did ·without knowing they did them [unintentionally; in ignorance]. ⁸ The Holy Spirit uses this to show that the way into the ·Most Holy Place [sanctuary; ^Lholy things; ^THoly of Holies] ·was not open [or had not yet been revealed] while the ·system of the old Holy Tent [or outer room of the Tabernacle; ^Lfirst tent/Tabernacle] was still ·being used [in place; standing].
