Washing

• They had to wash before they could enter the
  Tabernacle / Temple of God for divine service to
  the Lord.
• Today one has to be washed in baptism before
  entering the house of God for divine service in
  life to the Lord.
• This New Testament washing of baptism indicated a
  spiritual washing of the soul and not a washing
  of the body. I Peter. 321.

What shadow can be seen in the Essential Garments
to be worn before entering the Tabernacle /
Temple to serve?

• EXODUS 2840. And for Aaron's sons thou shalt
  make coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles,
  and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for glory
  and for beauty.

  brother, and his sons with him and shalt anoint
  them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them,
  that they may minister unto me in the priest's
  office.
• 42. And thou shalt make them linen breeches to
  cover their nakedness from the loins even unto
  the thighs they shall reach
• 43. And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his
  sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of
  the congregation, or when they come near unto the
  altar to minister in the holy place that they
  bear not iniquity, and die it shall be a statute
  for ever unto him and his seed after him.

New Spiritual Garments are the substantive
clothing that the Old priests garments shadowed

• EPH. 4 22. That ye put off concerning the
  former conversation the old man, which is corrupt
  according to the deceitful lusts 23. And be
  renewed in the spirit of your mind 24. And
  that ye put on the new man, which after God is
  created in righteousness and true holiness.
• Rev, 34. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis
  which have not defiled their garments and they
  shall walk with me in white for they are worthy.
• 5. He that overcometh, the same shall be
  clothed in white raiment and I will not blot out
  his name out of the book of life, but I will
  confess his name before my Father, and before his
  angels.

6
THE SHADOW AND THE SUBSTANCE (spiritual) OF THE
PRIESTS GARMENTS WHEN ARE THEY NOW PUT ON?

• Gal. 27. For as many of you as have been
  baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
• Col. 312. Put on therefore, as the elect of
  God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies,
  kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness,
  longsuffering 13. Forbearing one another, and
  forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel
  against any even as Christ forgave you, so also
  do ye. 14. And above all these things put on
  charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Shadow of the Priests Dedication

• LEV. 8 23. And he slew it and Moses took of
  the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of
  Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his
  right hand, and upon the great toe of his right
  foot.
• 24. And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put
  of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and
  upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon
  the great toes of their right feet and Moses
  sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.

THE SHADOW AND SUBSTANCE OF THE BRASS SERPENT
NU 216. And the Lord sent fiery serpents among
the people, and they bit the people and much
people of Israel died. 7. Therefore the people
came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we
have spoken against the Lord, and against thee
pray unto the Lord, that he take away the
serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the
people. 8. And the Lord said unto Moses, Make
thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole and
it shall come to pass, that every one that is
bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. 9.
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it
upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a
serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the
serpent of brass, he lived.
10
Jesus is the Substance of the Shadow of the Brass
Serpent

• John 314. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in
  the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be
  lifted up
• 15. That whosoever believeth in him should not
  perish, but have eternal life.
• 16. For God so loved the world, that he gave
  his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
  in him should not perish, but have everlasting
  life.

Shadow and Substance of Priest that Changed the
worship God had Prescribed

• SHADOW Nadab and Abihu, sons of Aaron
• 1. And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took
  either of them his censer, and put fire therein,
  and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire
  before the Lord, which he commanded them not.
• 2. And there went out fire from the Lord, and
  devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

13
Substance of the disobedience of the strange fire
offered by Nadab and Abihu

• Gal. 1 7. Which is not another but there be
  some that trouble you, and would pervert the
  gospel of Christ.
• 8. But though we, or an angel from heaven,
  preach any other gospel unto you than that which
  we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
• I Pet 411. If any man speak, let him speak as
  the oracles of God if any man minister, let him
  do it as of the ability which God giveth that
  God in all things may be glorified through Jesus
  Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever
  and ever. Amen.
• Rev. 1920. And the beast was taken, and with
  him the false prophet that wrought miracles
  before him, with which he deceived them that had
  received the mark of the beast, and them that
  worshipped his image. These both were cast alive
  into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

14
The Great Tragedy

• The story of the priesthood is a sad one. The
  Priests missed the spiritual implications of the
  tabernacle and temple worship system. They
  became mercenary with the sacrifices and turned
  the temple into a den of thieves. (Mt. 2113)
• Christ was the sanctuary of God on earth, the
  mercy, the altar atonement, light, life, bread,
  and communion of God with men.
• So sad, that many have apparently turned worship
  into entertainment. For many the singing,
  praying, the Lords supper, giving and preaching
  seem to have become mechanical acts of ritualism

• Passover Read Exodus 12, Nnu. 914 dt.
  161-7 (10 of Nisan-Mar. / April)
• The first Passover was observed in Egypt on the
  night of the ten plagues. The Israelites were
  delivered from death by the death and blood of
  the lamb.
• They were delivered by the sacrifice of a lamb
  that pre-shadowed the death of Jesus for the
  deliverance of people from the bondage of sin.
• Christ is our Passover for faith people I Cor.
  57. Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye
  may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even
  Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us

19

• 123 In the tenth day of this month they shall
  take to them every man a lamb, according to the
  house of their fathers, a lamb for an house
  125. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male
  a year old ye shall take it from the sheep, or
  from the goats
• 6. and ye shall keep it until the fourteenth
  day of the same month and the whole assembly of
  the congregation of Israel shall kill it at even.
  

19
20
12 7. And they shall take of the blood, and put
it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, upon
the houses wherein they shall eat it. 8. And
they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast
with fire, and unleavened bread with bitter
herbs they shall eat it.
21
Jesus As Redeemer died at the Slaying of the
Passover Lamb (Ex. 12) - mid-afternoon Mk.
1525. And it was the third hour, and they
crucified him 34. And at the ninth hour Jesus
cried with a loud voice,

• Rev. 59 for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed
  us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and
  tongue, and people, and nation
• Titus 2 14. who gave himself for us, that he
  might redeem us from all iniquity, (death) and
  purify unto himself a people for his own
  possession, zealous of good works.
• Behold the LAMB of God which taketh away the sin
  of the world. (Jn. 129)

22
They were redeemed at the PASSOVER in Egypt.
Ex. 1213. And the blood shall be to you for a
token upon the houses where ye are and when I
see the blood, I will pass over you, and the
plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when
I smite the land of Egypt. 1513. Thou in thy
mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast
redeemed thou hast guided them in thy strength
unto thy holy habitation.

  gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it
• 28. for this is my blood of the covenant, which
  is poured out for many unto remission of sins.
• 29. But I say unto you, I shall not drink
  henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that
  day when I drink it new with you in my Father's
  kingdom.
• Acts 207. And upon the first day of the week,
  when we were gathered together to break bread,

2 Feast --The Feast of Unleavened Bread
Followed the Passover

• 12 13. And the blood shall be to you for a
  token upon the houses where ye are and when I
  see the blood, I will pass over you, and there
  shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when
  I smite the land of Egypt.
• 14. And this day shall be unto you for a
  memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to
  Jehovah throughout your generations ye shall
  keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
• 15. Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread
  even the first day ye shall put away leaven out
  of your houses for whosoever eateth leavened
  bread from the first day until the seventh day,
  that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

28
29

• EX.1217. And ye shall observe the feast of
  unleavened bread for in this selfsame day have I
  brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt
  therefore shall ye observe this day throughout
  your generations by an ordinance for ever.
• 18. In the first month, on the fourteenth day
  of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened
  bread, until the one and twentieth day of the
  month at even.
• 19. Seven days shall there be no leaven found
  in your houses for whosoever eateth that which
  is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the
  congregation of Israel, whether he be a
  sojourner, or one that is born in the land.

29
30
The Feast of Unleavened Bread

• Taking a lighted lamp, the head of the house
  usually assisted by his sons gathered all leaven
  from the house in the most exacting manner
  possible. All the leavened bread was then
  securely tied and placed in an unused part of the
  house. It was removed the next morning and
  burned. Three prayers were said during this
  time. Before the search was made, the following
  prayer was recited "Blessed art thou O Lord our
  God and King of the Universe who has sanctified
  us with His commandments and hath commanded us
  to remove all leaven".

31
The Feast of Unleavened Bread

• After the search, the following was said "All
  manner of leaven that is in my possession which I
  have not seen or removed shall be null and
  accounted as the dust of the earth". The same was
  recited after the burning the next morning in
  case a mouse had brought in a speck of leaven
  during the night. All daily dishes and food were
  hidden from view.
• For uniformity, two cakes of leavened bread had
  been laid on the temple porch. While they were
  there, leavened bread could be eaten. When one
  was removed, people were to abstain from eating
  leaven. When the second one was removed, all
  leaven was to be destroyed.

32
The Feast of Unleavened Bread

• Next, the slaying of the lamb took place. The
  crowd went to the temple mount where it was
  arranged in three groups. The evening sacrifice
  had been offered early because it was passover. A
  company of 30 (symbolic of the divine and
  completeness)3X10 were admitted and the gates
  closed. All were lined up with two priests near
  each Israelite. All slew their lambs and the
  blood was caught by bowls which when full were
  passed on to the next priest and on to the altar
  where a priest poured out all the blood.
  Meanwhile, the priests led a great chant with
  the people repeating every first line of a Psalm.
  To the others they respondedj "Hallelujah" or
  "Praise the Lord." According to the Talmud, the
  113th to 118th Psalms were used because they
  recorded (1) the coming out of Egypt, (2)
  dividing of the Red Sea, (3) giving of the law,
  (4) the resurrection of the dead, and (5) the lot
  of the Messiah.

33
The Feast of Unleavened Bread

• The Psalms were chanted as long as the slayingof
  the animals and accompanying rites were
  beingperformed. The sacrifices were laid on
  staves orplaced on hooks, flayed, the entrails
  taken out andcleansed, the inside fat separated
  and put on a dish,salted, and placed on the fire
  of burnt offering. Eachgroup followed the same
  course till all three divisionsfinished. After
  this the priests cleaned the court.Then the
  lamps were trimmed and the incense burned.The
  people then descended from the mount with
  theirlambs for roasting.

34
The Meaning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

• It Celebrated
• The Passover had celebrated Israels deliverance
  from Egyptian slavery, their adoption by the Lord
  as His People, the foundation of Israels birth
  as a nation.
• Signified the redemption price of their freedom
• THE FOLLOWING WEEK of the unleavened bread
  signified their spiritual separation (holy
  sanctification) unto the service of God.

HOW THE SABBATH SYSTEM SYSTEM PRE-SHADOWED
DWELLING ETERNALLY WITH GOD Col 216-17 Let no
man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or
in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or
of the sabbath days Which are a shadow of things
to come but the body is of Christ.
41
42
The Pyramidical Sabbatical system

• There was the weekly Sabbath celebrated each 7th
  day because God rested from creation on the 7th
  dayGen. 22-3 Ex. 1622-30 208-11
• HOW WERE THE JEWS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE WEEKLY
  SABBATH? WHY?
• 1. 2 male lambs were sacrificed as burnt
  offerings, along with cereal and drink offerings.
• 1. No work was to be done.. They were to cook
  sufficiently on the 6th day for the next. No
  traveling was to be done (Ex. 1623-30).
• 2. Penalty for breaking the Sabbath was death
  (Ex. 3115 Nu, 1532)
• WHAT WERE THE JEWS SUPPOSED TO LEARN FROM THIS?

42
43
The New Moon Monthly Sabbath

• 1. Offering of 2 young bulls
• 2. One ram and 7 male lambs a year old without
  blemish.
• 3. Flour, oil and wine were also offered
• 4. A male goat was sacrificed as a sin offering.
• All theses offering were in addition to the
  regular daily and Sabbath offerings.
• Num. 2811-15

43
44
The Seventh Sabbatical Month

• 1. At the beginning of the month trumpets were
  blown signifying the beginning of a holy day
  (Lev. 2323-25 Nu. 291)
• 2. One young bull, one ram, seven male lambs a
  year old without blemish accompanied with cereal
  offerings were offered as a pleasing odor to the
  Lord (Num. 292-6)
• 3. According to the Jews observance of the New
  Moon Sabbath was symbolic of surrender to the
  Lord. This was called a day of gladness as
  trumpets were blown over the burnt and peace
  offerings. (Num. 1010)

44
45
The Seventh Sabbatical Month

• 4. What were they to do and learn from the
  monthly sabbath?
• 4. The Jews gradually drifted from the spiritual
  significance of the Sabbaths. Amos 84-6) Says
  that they were glad when they were ovcer so they
  could sell grain.

45
46
The 7th or Sabbatical year

• For additional emphasis God prescribed the
  observance of a Sabbatic year for Israel (Ex.
  2310-11 Lev. 252-7) Deut. 151-18 3110-13).
• In the seventh year the land was left unplowed,
  unsown, and unharvested by the owner. Any crops
  which germinated naturally were for the slaves to
  gather and the animals to eat (Lev. 252-7)

46
47
Jubilee or 50th Year Sabbath

• In order for Israel to reach a pinnacle height of
  spiritual observance twice each century, God gave
  the year of Jubilee (5oth). The land was to be
  left unplowed and the people ceased from all
  physical work (Lev. 258-34 2717-24 Num.
  364).
• The year began on the annual Atonement Day (Lev.
  1629, 259) on the 10th day of Tishra (7th
  month). It began with trumpet blowing (Lev.
  259) and with Jubilee (loud shouting). Since it
  was preceded by a sabbatical year (49th), God
  said if they were faithful He would provide an
  abundant crop year in the 6th and 48th year (Lev.
  258) and with fruit for three years Lev. 2521).
• All land was to be returned to the original
  owner, and all indentured servants freed and
  debts forgiven (Lev. 2513-55).

47
48
Note the Accumulations of Sabbaths, special days
and years leading to the 50th year.

• 1. Approx. 2,184 regular Sabbaths plus special
  Sabbaths (feasts). All Sabbath days in the 7th
  year and in the year of Jubilee were omitted
  because the entire year was a Sabbath of
  cessation of laborious work.
• 2. Each year the 7th months was observed as a
  Sabbatic month.
• 3. The 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th, 35th, 42nd, and
  49th were Sabbatic years
• 4. The 50th year followed the 49th which meant
  two Sabbath years in a row twice per century were
  to eb observed. God would provide for them (Lev.
  2519-22).

48
49

• THE SPIRITUAL APPLICATION
• The Sabbath, seventh month, Sabbatic year, and
  Jubilee year all were joined in principle and
  should have portrayed increasingly for the
  Israelite the supremacy of the SPIRITUAL over the
  PHYSICAL.Every seventh day, he was re minded in
  cessation from labor that it was God ordained. As
  God ceased from creation (Gen. 22-3), so man
  ceased his daily work which was a means in
  contemplation of the end eternal life. Because
  of sin, the joy and blessings of God's original
  creation were lost in toil, sweat, and labor. But
  each Sabbath was a reminder that God would
  eventually redeem man. Thus, every seven days he
  should have appreciated anew God's pledge of
  eternal blessing when man enters his True
  Restfellowship with God apart from sin.

49
50
The Seventh month was inaugurated by the special
holy day and blowing of trumpets. It introduced
the month in which the annual atonement and feast
of the tabernacles was celebrated. It should have
reminded the rulers, priests and nation that God
had blessed them, through the year and had
providentially met their every need. Therefore,
with the harvest complete, they were prepared in
an attitude of thanksgiving and humility to seek
His mercy in atonement despite their sin and to
prepare as a joyous nation to dwell in booths. In
like manner, the Sabbatic year was to more deeply
impress upon the spiritual man that God would
provide throughout the year SPIRITUALLY as He
most certainly had PHYSICALLY. Thus, man's sowing
and reaping each year was not an end, but simply
a means until redemption was complete.
50
51
The cessation every seven years for a YEAR (not
just a day as on the Sabbath) could not help but
deepen insight into the mercy, grace and love of
God for man. Separated from material pursuits, he
could cultivate the spiritual by meditation and
thanksgiving. It foreshadowed an eternal rest
from the physical and simultaneously depicted
eternal spiritual service to His blessed
Lord. The Jubilee year climaxed God's covenant of
redemption. Although there is no record of
national reaction in the Bible to its observance,
it should have enabled the spiritual Israelite
to perceive the eventual eternal bliss with God.
After 48 years of weekly Sabbaths, interspersed
with 48 seventh months' introducing atonement and
the feast of the tabernacles, and six sabbatic
years, the 49th year as a seventh sabbatic year
was followed by the jubilee year.
51
52
Thus for two consecutive years every fifty years,
the Israelite should have been made deeply
conscious of the SPIRITUAL and how trivial and
inconsequential were the material means of life.
God completely provided for his every need during
the three yearsa period of gracethe two while
he was devoting himself WHOLLY TO HIS CREATOR,
and during the sowing and growing of a crop in
the 51st year (Lev. 2521). Such a life for the
period must have enabled the man of faith to draw
as close to God as possible on earth in realizing
the future glory of the heavenly realm. Also, the
return of land and the freeing of slaves should
have impressed indelibly upon the individual soul
the concept that all of the earth is a means to
the end of serving God TOTALLY, ABSOLUTELY AND
COMPLETELY.

All here was transitory, not eternal. It would
serve its purpose until salvation was fully
accomplished. When redemption was realized, the
land or property which he might have thought as
valuable was gone forever the service from his
fellow manno longer needed or wanted. ALL MEN
were to serve GOD WHO ALONE WAS THEIR MASTER. To
convince the doubter, who might withhold from the
needy because the jubilee was approaching that he
was not a master but a servant, the Lord said, "
To me the people of Israel are servants, they are
my servants whom I brought forth out of the land
of Egypt I am the Lord your God". (Lev. 2517,
51-55). What a marvelous provision by the Lord!
Therefore, two years of meditation, appreciation
and spiritual communion with God unhindered by
toil in the field, etc. should have made everyone
GOD CONSCIOUS and fervently desirous of eternal
life with God.

Fellow Christians! How we should recognize our
privileges and opportunities in Christ. The
truths of the sermon on the mount, and the
parables of the value of the kingdom take on new
meaning. Our citizenship is in heaven (Phil.
320 ASV)I Since our hearts are there, let us lay
up treasures there by seeking the Kingdom of God
and His righteousness FIRST (Matt. 633). Thus,
everything other than Christ and being found in
Him is refuse-garbage-loss-and should be so
counted (Phil. 37-8).
54
55
May everythinghouses, jobs, possessions,
MONEYall be used as means for the TRUE
ENDeternal life with Christ and God. Since we
live jn an era of grace, we Jive constantly in
the jubilee year IF WE CHOOSE by a RICH
PRODUCTION OF THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT (Gal.
522-23). AGAINST SUCH THERE. IS NO-LAW. May we
so live here that we may finally by His Grace
enter the TRUE REST and serve God forever in
thanksgiving for His glorious salvation bestowed
upon us (Heb. 49-10).

The pyramidical system of the Jewish law was
intended to reflect a constant growth pattern for
developing faith in Israel toward their eventual
dwelling with God Christians should seek to
follow a growth pattern in life to do the same.

Application of the Pentateuch to the New Age

• We will let the author of Hebrews summarize the
  Pentateuch for us
• 1. Jesus is now our high priest and functions for
  us in a better tabernacle (worship center) than
  the old.
• Heb. 911. But Christ being come an high priest
  of good things to come, by a greater and more
  perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is
  to say, not of this building

58
59
2. Jesus died once for eternal forgiveness

• Heb. 912. Neither by the blood of goats and
  calves, but by his own blood he entered in once
  into the holy place, having obtained eternal
  redemption for us.

59
60
Animal blood and Water made only the body
presentable to God. Jesus as a sinless
sacrifice made the conscience clean

• Heb. 9 13. For if the blood of bulls and of
  goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the
  unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the
  flesh
• 14. How much more shall the blood of Christ,
  who through the eternal Spirit offered himself
  without spot to God, purge your conscience from
  dead works to serve the living God?

60
61
A better and different High Priest offering a
better and different sacrifice meant a new
testament had to be forthcoming

• Heb. 915. And for this cause he is the
  mediator of the new testament, that by means of
  death, for the redemption of the transgressions
  that were under the first testament, they which
  are called might receive the promise of eternal
  inheritance.
• His sinless death for their sins (and ours) meant
  the end of all sacrifices for sin.

61
62
The New Testament could Not begin without Jesus
sinless death

• 16. For where a testament is, there must also
  of necessity be the death of the testator.
• 17. For a testament is of force after men are
  dead otherwise it is of no strength at all while
  the testator liveth.

62
63
Jesus entered the Heavenly Temple by Water and
the Blood

• John 1934. But one of the soldiers with a spear
  pierced his side, and forthwith came there out
  blood and water.

63
64
The Old Testament Was Instituted by the inferior
sacrifice of animals

• HEB 918. Whereupon neither the first testament
  was dedicated without blood.
• 19. For when Moses had spoken every precept to
  all the people according to the law, he took the
  blood of calves and of goats, with water, and
  scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the
  book, and all the people,
• 20. Saying, This is the blood of the testament
  which God hath enjoined unto you.
• 21. Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the
  tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
• 22. And almost all things are by the law purged
  with blood and without shedding of blood is no
  remission.

65
The Old Covenant was only a pattern of the
Better Covenant to Come

• Heb 923. It was therefore necessary that the
  patterns of things in the heavens should be
  purified with these but the heavenly things
  themselves with better sacrifices than these.
• 24. For Christ is not entered into the holy
  places made with hands, which are the figures of
  the true but into heaven itself, now to appear
  in the presence of God for us

65
66
Effective Sacrifice is permanent and need not be
repeated

• 25. Nor yet that he should offer himself often,
  as the high priest entereth into the holy place
  every year with blood of others 26. For then
  must he often have suffered since the foundation
  of the world but now once in the end of the
  world hath he appeared to put away sin by the
  sacrifice of himself. 27. And as it is
  appointed unto men once to die, but after this
  the judgment 28. So Christ was once offered to
  bear the sins of many and unto them that look
  for him shall he appear the second time without
  sin unto salvation.
• Thus the old system was fulfilled and gave way to
  the new.

66
67
The Necessity of Jesus Coming to Earth

• Heb 101. For the law having a shadow of good
  things to come, and not the very image of the
  things, can never with those sacrifices which
  they offered year by year continually make the
  comers thereunto perfect. 2. For then would
  they not have ceased to be offered? because that
  the worshippers once purged should have had no
  more conscience of sins.
• 3. But in those sacrifices there is a
  remembrance again made of sins every year. 4.
  For it is not possible that the blood of bulls
  and of goats should take away sins.
• 5. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he
  saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not,
  but a body hast thou prepared me 6. In burnt
  offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no
  pleasure.

67
68
Heb. 107. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the
volume of the book it is written of me,) to do
thy will, O God. 8. Above when he said,
Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and
offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst
pleasure therein which are offered by the law
9. Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O
God. He taketh away the first, that he may
establish the second. 10. By the which will we
are sanctified through the offering of the body
of Jesus Christ once for all. 11. And every
priest standeth daily ministering and offering
oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never
take away sins 12. But this man, after he had
offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down
on the right hand of God 13. From henceforth
expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
68
69
Heb. 1014. For by one offering he hath
perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 15.
Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us
for after that he had said before, 16. This is
the covenant that I will make with them after
those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws
into their hearts, and in their minds will I
write them 17. And their sins and iniquities
will I remember no more. 18. Now where
remission of these is, there is no more offering
for sin. 19. Having therefore, brethren,
boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood
of Jesus, 20. By a new and living way, which he
hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that
is to say, his flesh 21. And having an high
priest over the house of God 22. Let us draw
near with a true heart in full assurance of
faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil
conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
