Hebrews 9:6-8 NIV

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:7

Verse 7 7.For himself and for the errors of the people, or for his own and the ignorances of the people. As the verb |shagag|, means in Hebrew to err, to mistake, so |shgagah|, derived from it, properly denotes error, or mistake; but yet it is generally taken for any kind of sin; and doubtless we never sin except when deceived by the allurements of Satan. The Apostle does not understand by it mere ignorance, as they say, but, on the contrary, he includes also voluntary sins; but as I have... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:1-10

Arrangements of the first covenant. The Epistle to the Hebrews is the New Testament Leviticus. In itself, the book of the Jewish ritual is rather dry reading. "Nothing can well be duller or more dingy than the appearance of a stained-glass cathedral window to one who is looking on it from the outside of the building; but, when you enter and gaze at it from within, the whole is aglow with beauty" (Dr. W.M. Taylor). Now, from this Epistle we learn to read Leviticus with the bright gospel... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:6

Now these things being thus ordained (A.V rather, arranged or constituted ; it is the same word ( κατασκευάζω ) as was used in Hebrews 9:2 , "there was a tabernacle made ;" also in Hebrews 3:3 , Hebrews 3:4 , of God's "house;" on which see supra ), the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services. (Observe that here, where the ministrations are described, present tenses are used; perhaps because these ministrations were still... read more

The symbolism of the Jewish sacrifices. Only a partial reference, but enough to call up to the Hebrew mind the round of sacred offerings prescribed in Leviticus. I. PRELIMINARY INQUIRIES AS TO SACRIFICE IN GENERAL . 1. What was the origin of the sacrificial act? Did it originate with man or God? In favor of the former, there is the fact that it is not recorded that the first sacrifice was the result of a Divine call. But against this, we are told that the first... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:6-10

Symbolism of the sacrifices. The writer declares that the past dispensation of the Law was a parable or figure. The whole of this Epistle turns upon the interpretation of this parable. Our Lord employed many parables to set forth the nature of his kingdom. He presented many aspects and features and processes of the gospel; and the meaning of these things he explained to the humble and docile spirit of his disciples. In the condition of the Jews under the Law, there was the exclusion of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:6-13

The Day of Atonement fulfilled, and its imperfect blessings perfected in Christ. In dealing with the abolition of the types of the old economy since their fulfillment in the high priesthood of Christ ( Hebrews 9:1-28 ; Hebrews 10:18 ), the writer comes here to dwell on the Jewish Day of Atonement. That day is the key to these and following verses, and the most forcible illustration of our Lord's high priestly work. This day was at the basis of the Jewish system; by its services,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:7-8

But into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself and for the errors (literally, ignorances ; cf. Hebrews 9:2 ) of the people. For the ceremonies on the Day of Atonement, see Leviticus 16:1-34 . They may be summarized, in their main characteristics, thus: read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 9:6

When these things were thus ordained - Thus arranged or appointed. Having shown what the tabernacle was, the apostle proceeds to show what was done in it. “The priests went always into the first tabernacle.” The outer tabernacle called the holy place. They were not permitted to enter the Holy of Holies, that being entered only once in a year by the High Priest. The holy place was entered every day to make the morning and evening oblation.Accomplishing the service of God - Performing the acts of... read more

But into the second - The second apartment or room, called the most holy place; Hebrews 9:3.Went the high priest alone once every year - On the great day of atonement; Exodus 30:10. On that day he probably entered the Holy of Holies three or four times, first to burn incense, Leviticus 16:12; then to sprinkle the blood of the bullock on the mercy-seat, Leviticus 16:14; then he was to kill the goat of the sin-offering, and bring that blood within the Veil and sprinkle it also on the mercy-seat,... read more
