**Verse 1**
*A worldly sanctuary;* an earthly sanctuary.

**Verse 2**
*The first;* the outermost. For the construction of the tabernacle, with its veil separating the outer sanctuary from the Holy of Holies, or the Holiest of all, see [Exodus 26:31-37](../../../kjv/exodus/26/31-37):--*The candlestick;* [Exodus 25:31-39](../../../kjv/exodus/25/31-39).--*The table;* [Exodus 25:23-30](../../../kjv/exodus/25/23-30).

**Verse 4**
*The ark;* [Exodus 25:10-16](../../../kjv/exodus/25/10-16).--*Manna;* [Exodus 16:33](../../../kjv/exodus/16/33).--*Aaron's rod;* [Numbers 17:1-10](../../../kjv/numbers/17/1-10).--*The tables of the covenant;* the two tables of stone, on which the ten commandments were engraven.

**Verse 5**
*The cherubims;* [Exodus 25:18-20](../../../kjv/exodus/25/18-20).

**Verse 6**
*Thus ordained;* thus arranged by divine appointment.--*The priests;* common priests, in contradistinction from the high priest, mentioned in the [Hebrews 9:7](../../../kjv/hebrews/9/7).--*The first tabernacle;* the outer tabernacle.

**Verse 7**
*Not without blood;* [Leviticus 16:14](../../../kjv/leviticus/16/14),[Leviticus 16:15](../../../kjv/leviticus/16/15).--*The errors;* the sins.

**Verse 8**
*Made manifest;* opened.

**Verse 9**
*Which was a figure;* a type or symbol.--*That could not make,* &c.; that is, could not spiritually redeem and save him.

**Verse 10**
*Which stood,* which service stood.--*Carnal ordinances;* outward and ceremonial ordinances.--*Reformation;* the introduction of the new and better system of the gospel.

**Verse 12**
*By his own blood;* shed in sacrifice for sin.

**Verse 13**
*The ashes of a heifer,* &c.; alluding to a ceremony described in [Numbers 19:2-9](../../../kjv/numbers/19/2-9).--*Sanctifieth,* &c.; is sufficient for the purposes of ceremonial purification.

**Verse 15**
*For the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament.* This language teaches us that the efficacy of the sacrifice of Christ enures to the benefit of the penitent who lived before his day.

**Verse 16**
A will, however fully executed, does not take effect until the death of the testator. The apostle takes occasion from this circumstance to represent the gospel as a *will,* made effective by the death of Christ, inasmuch as it was by his death that the blessings of salvation were sealed and secured.

**Verse 18**
*Whereupon,* &c.; in a somewhat similar manner the first testament or covenant was ratified with blood.

**Verse 19**
The account of the ceremonies which followed the giving of the law, is contained in [Exodus 24:3](../../../kjv/exodus/24/3),[Exodus 24:8](../../../kjv/exodus/24/8). All the particulars here alluded to are not there recorded. It would seem that Paul must have had access to some other source of information than the Mosaic account--perhaps tradition.

**Verse 20**
[Hebrews 9:20](../../../kjv/hebrews/9/20); [Exodus 24:8](../../../kjv/exodus/24/8).

**Verse 21**
*Of the ministry;* of the service.

**Verse 22**
*Purged;* purified.--*No remission;* from civil and ceremonial penalties, under the Mosaic law; and none from sin and its consequences now.

**Verse 23**
*The patterns of things in the heavens;* that is, of spiritual things;--these ceremonial services being so considered, as represented in [Hebrews 8:5](../../../kjv/hebrews/8/5).--*With these;* with the blood of animal sacrifices.

**Verse 24**
*Holy places made with hands;* such as the Mosaic tabernacle.

**Verse 28**
*Without sin;* without any further offering for sin.
