Hebrews 9

The Message Bible MSG

1 That first plan contained directions for worship, and a specially designed place of worship.

2 A large outer tent was set up. The lampstand, the table, and "the bread of presence" were placed in it. This was called "the Holy Place."

3 Then a curtain was stretched, and behind it a smaller, inside tent set up. This was called "the Holy of Holies."

4 In it were placed the gold incense altar and the gold-covered ark of the covenant containing the gold urn of manna, Aaron's rod that budded, the covenant tablets,

5 and the angel-wing-shadowed mercy seat. But we don't have time to comment on these now.

6 After this was set up, the priests went about their duties in the large tent.

7 Only the high priest entered the smaller, inside tent, and then only once a year, offering a blood sacrifice for his own sins and the people's accumulated sins.

8 This was the Holy Spirit's way of showing with a visible parable that as long as the large tent stands, people can't just walk in on God.

9 Under this system, the gifts and sacrifices can't really get to the heart of the matter, can't assuage the conscience of the people,

10 but are limited to matters of ritual and behavior. It's essentially a temporary arrangement until a complete overhaul could be made.

11 But when the Messiah arrived, high priest of the superior things of this new covenant, he bypassed the old tent and its trappings in this created world and went straight into heaven's "tent" - the true Holy Place - once and for all.

12 He also bypassed the sacrifices consisting of goat and calf blood, instead using his own blood as the price to set us free once and for all.

13 If that animal blood and the other rituals of purification were effective in cleaning up certain matters of our religion and behavior,

14 think how much more the blood of Christ cleans up our whole lives, inside and out.

15 Through the Spirit, Christ offered himself as an unblemished sacrifice, freeing us from all those dead-end efforts to make ourselves respectable, so that we can live all out for God.

16 Like a will that takes effect when someone dies, the new covenant was put into action at Jesus' death. His death marked the transition from the old plan to the new one, canceling the old obligations and accompanying sins, and summoning the heirs to receive the eternal inheritance that was promised them. He brought together God and his people in this new way.

17

18 Even the first plan required a death to set it in motion.

19 After Moses had read out all the terms of the plan of the law - God's "will" - he took the blood of sacrificed animals and, in a solemn ritual, sprinkled the document and the people who were its beneficiaries.

20 And then he attested its validity with the words, "This is the blood of the covenant commanded by God."

21 He did the same thing with the place of worship and its furniture.

22 Moses said to the people, "This is the blood of the covenant God has established with you." Practically everything in a will hinges on a death. That's why blood, the evidence of death, is used so much in our tradition, especially regarding forgiveness of sins.

23 That accounts for the prominence of blood and death in all these secondary practices that point to the realities of heaven. It also accounts for why, when the real thing takes place, these animal sacrifices aren't needed anymore, having served their purpose.

24 For Christ didn't enter the earthly version of the Holy Place; he entered the Place Itself, and offered himself to God as the sacrifice for our sins.

25 He doesn't do this every year as the high priests did under the old plan with blood that was not their own;

26 if that had been the case, he would have to sacrifice himself repeatedly throughout the course of history. But instead he sacrificed himself once and for all, summing up all the other sacrifices in this sacrifice of himself, the final solution of sin.

27 Everyone has to die once, then face the consequences.

28 Christ's death was also a one-time event, but it was a sacrifice that took care of sins forever. And so, when he next appears, the outcome for those eager to greet him is, precisely, salvation.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 habuit quidem et prius iustificationes culturae et sanctum saeculare

2 tabernaculum enim factum est primum in quo inerant candelabra et mensa et propositio panum quae dicitur sancta

3 post velamentum autem secundum tabernaculum quod dicitur sancta sanctorum

4 aureum habens turibulum et arcam testamenti circumtectam ex omni parte auro in qua urna aurea habens manna et virga Aaron quae fronduerat et tabulae testamenti

5 superque eam cherubin gloriae obumbrantia propitiatorium de quibus non est modo dicendum per singula

6 his vero ita conpositis in priori quidem tabernaculo semper introibant sacerdotes sacrificiorum officia consummantes

7 in secundo autem semel in anno solus pontifex non sine sanguine quem offert pro sua et populi ignorantia

8 hoc significante Spiritu Sancto nondum propalatam esse sanctorum viam adhuc priore tabernaculo habente statum

9 quae parabola est temporis instantis iuxta quam munera et hostiae offeruntur quae non possunt iuxta conscientiam perfectum facere servientem

10 solummodo in cibis et in potibus et variis baptismis et iustitiis carnis usque ad tempus correctionis inpositis

11 Christus autem adsistens pontifex futurorum bonorum per amplius et perfectius tabernaculum non manufactum id est non huius creationis

12 neque per sanguinem hircorum et vitulorum sed per proprium sanguinem introivit semel in sancta aeterna redemptione inventa

13 si enim sanguis hircorum et taurorum et cinis vitulae aspersus inquinatos sanctificat ad emundationem carnis

14 quanto magis sanguis Christi qui per Spiritum Sanctum semet ipsum obtulit inmaculatum Deo emundabit conscientiam vestram ab operibus mortuis ad serviendum Deo viventi

15 et ideo novi testamenti mediator est ut morte intercedente in redemptionem earum praevaricationum quae erant sub priore testamento repromissionem accipiant qui vocati sunt aeternae hereditatis

16 ubi enim testamentum mors necesse est intercedat testatoris

17 testamentum enim in mortuis confirmatum est alioquin nondum valet dum vivit qui testatus est

18 unde ne primum quidem sine sanguine dedicatum est

19 lecto enim omni mandato legis a Mose universo populo accipiens sanguinem vitulorum et hircorum cum aqua et lana coccinea et hysopo ipsum quoque librum et omnem populum aspersit

20 dicens hic sanguis testamenti quod mandavit ad vos Deus

21 etiam tabernaculum et omnia vasa ministerii sanguine similiter aspersit

22 et omnia paene in sanguine mundantur secundum legem et sine sanguinis fusione non fit remissio

23 necesse est ergo exemplaria quidem caelestium his mundari ipsa autem caelestia melioribus hostiis quam istis

24 non enim in manufactis sanctis Iesus introiit exemplaria verorum sed in ipsum caelum ut appareat nunc vultui Dei pro nobis

25 neque ut saepe offerat semet ipsum quemadmodum pontifex intrat in sancta per singulos annos in sanguine alieno

26 alioquin oportebat eum frequenter pati ab origine mundi nunc autem semel in consummatione saeculorum ad destitutionem peccati per hostiam suam apparuit

27 et quemadmodum statutum est hominibus semel mori post hoc autem iudicium

28 sic et Christus semel oblatus ad multorum exhaurienda peccata secundo sine peccato apparebit expectantibus se in salutem
