Hebrews 9:8 in context

  1. 6Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,
  2. 7but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people.
  3. 8The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place wasn’t yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing.
  4. 9This is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshiper perfect,
  5. 10being only (with meats and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.
