Hebrews 9
9
1Now the Brit HaRishonah farshteit zich (of course) had regulations for avodas kodesh in an earthly Mikdash.
2For the Mishkan was furnished, that is, hachitzon (the outer one) in which were both the Menorah and the Shulchan and the setting out of the Lechem HaPanim. This part is the Kodesh, the Holy Place.
3And behind the Parokhet HaSheynit was the part of the Mishkan being called the Kodesh HaKodashim,
4Having a golden Mizbe'ach of ketoret (incense) and the Aron HaBrit having been covered on all sides with gold, and in which was a golden jar holding the manna and the rod of Aharon which budded, and the Luchot haBrit (the tablets of the Covenant, the Decalogue, Aseret HaDibrot).
5And above the Aron HaBrit the keruvim of kavod overshadowing the kapporet, about which things it is not possible to speak now in praht (detail).
6Now these things having been prepared, the kohanim go continually into the Mishkan, the hachitzon (the outer one), performing the avodas kodesh sherut.
7But into the Kodesh HaKodashim only the Kohen Gadol goes, and only once a year, and not without DAHM (blood) which he offers for himself and for the shiggot haAm (unintentional sins of the people).
8By this the Ruach Hakodesh signifies that the Derech into the Kodesh HaKodashim has not yet been revealed while the Mishkan, the hachitzon (the outer one), is still standing,
9Which is a mashal for the present time. Accordingly both minchot and zevakhim are being offered which cannot fulfill with respect to the matzpun (conscience) of the worshiper,
10Als (since) they deal only with okhel and mashkeh (drink) and different tevilot, external regulations being imposed until the time of the Tikkun (Restoration).
11But when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came as the Kohen Gadol of the coming tovot (good things), he entered through the Mishkan Gadol, the greater and more perfect Mishkan, not made with hands, that is, not of this B'ri'ah (Creation);
12Not through the dahm of se'irim (goats) and of agalim (bulls) but through his own dahm#9:12 Isa 52:15 he entered the Kodesh HaKodashim once and for all, having secured for us the Geulah Olamim.
13For if the dahm of se'irim (goats) and parim (young bulls) and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have become tum'a (uncleanness), if this dahm sets apart for kedushah for the tohorah (purification) of the basar,
14By how much more will the dahm of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach who through the eternal Ruach Hakodesh offered himself without MUM#9:14 Lv 22:20 (defect) to G-d, by how much more will his DAHM#9:14 Isa 52:15 purify our matzpun (conscience) from ma'asim metim (dead works) in order to serve the Elohim Chayyim.
15And for this reason Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is the Metavekh of a Brit Chadasha in order that those who are HaKeru'im (the Called ones) may receive the nachalat olam (eternal inheritance) of the Havtachah (Promise), because a mavet, a kapparat hapeysha'im has taken place that gives them pedut (ransom for redemption, Geulah) from peysha'im#9:15 Isa 53:5 (transgressions) that were committed under HaBrit HaRishonah.
16For where there is a brit or a tzavva'a (will), it is aizen (well founded, incontrovertible) that the histalkus (passing) of the one who made it must be established.
17For a Brit, a tzavv'a (covenant, will) is valid only when Bnei Adam have died, for it is never validly executed as long as the ba'al tzavva'a (testator, person who makes the will) lives.
18Hence the Brit HaRishonah was not cut without DAHM.#9:18 Ex 24:8
19For when every mitzvah had been spoken by Moshe Rabbeinu to all the Am Brit according to the Torah, he took the dahm of se'irim and of agalim with mayim and scarlet wool and hyssop and sprinkled both the sefer itself and all the people,
20Saying, HINEI DAHM HABRIT#9:20 Ex 24:8 (This is the blood of the Covenant) which Hashem commanded you.
21And in the same way he sprinkled both the Mishkan and also all the k'lei haSherut (vessels of service in the Mishkan) with dahm.
22Indeed, according to the Torah, almost everything is metohar (purified) by dahm, and without a kapporah by means of shefach dahm (the shedding of blood) there is no selicha (forgiveness).
23Therefore, it was necessary for the tavnit#9:23 Ex 25:40 (pattern, copy) of the things in Shomayim be metohar (purified) with these, but the things of Shomayim themselves with better zevakhim than these.
24For Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did not enter into a Kodesh HaKodashim made by human hands, a mere TAVNIT#9:24 Ex 25:40 (pattern, copy) of the true Kodesh HaKodashim, but Moshiach entered into Shomayim itself, now to appear before the face of Hashem for us.
25Nor was it so that he may offer himself again and again, as the Kohen Gadol enters the Kodesh HaKodashim yearly with dahm not his own;
26For then it would have been necessary for him to suffer often from the hivvased tevel (foundation of the world); but now, once at the Ketz HaOlamim, he has appeared to put away averos (sins) by the korban of himself.#9:26 Isa 53:10
27And in as much as it is appointed for men to die once and after this HaMishpat,#9:27 Yom HaDin
28So he, having been offered up once in order that HU NASA CHET RABBIM#9:28 Isa 53:12 (he bore away the sin of many) and shall appear sheynit (a second time) for Yeshu'at Eloheinu without reference to chet for those who expectantly khakeh levo'o shel (await the arrival of) Moshiach.

Hebrews 9
9
1The first therefore also indeed had ordinances of service, and the sanctuary, a worldly one. 2For a tabernacle was set up; the first, in which were both the candlestick and the table and the exposition of the loaves, which is called Holy; 3but after the second veil a tabernacle which is called Holy of holies, 4having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant, covered round in every part with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, and the rod of Aaron that had sprouted, and the tables of the covenant; 5and above over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; concerning which it is not now the time to speak in detail. 6Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle the priests enter at all times, accomplishing the services; 7but into the second, the high priest only, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people:
8the Holy Spirit shewing this, that the way of the holy of holies has not yet been made manifest while as yet the first tabernacle has its standing; 9the which is an image for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices, unable to perfect as to conscience him that worshipped, are offered, 10consisting only of meats and drinks and divers washings, ordinances of flesh, imposed until the time of setting things right. 11But Christ being come high priest of the good things to come, by the better and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, (that is, not of this creation,) 12nor by blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, has entered in once for all into the holy of holies, having found an eternal redemption. 13For if the blood of goats and bulls, and a heifer's ashes sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies for the purity of the flesh, 14how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works to worship the living God?
15And for this reason he is mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16(For where there is a testament, the death of the testator must needs come in. 17For a testament is of force when men are dead, since it is in no way of force while the testator is alive.) 18Whence neither the first was inaugurated without blood. 19For every commandment having been spoken according to the law by Moses to all the people; having taken the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God has enjoined to you. 21And the tabernacle too and all the vessels of service he sprinkled in like manner with blood; 22and almost all things are purified with blood according to the law, and without blood-shedding there is no remission.
23 It was necessary then that the figurative representations of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these. 24For the Christ is not entered into holy places made with hand, figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us: 25nor in order that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy places every year with blood not his own; 26since he had then been obliged often to suffer from the foundation of the world. But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for the putting away of sin by his sacrifice. 27And forasmuch as it is the portion of men once to die, and after this judgment; 28thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time without sin for salvation.
