The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:9

The parabolic function of the tabernacle services. The tabernacle, with its contents and its institutions, was one great parable embracing and uniting many subordinate parables. A parable looking towards the time of the new covenant—the "present time," as the writer calls it; or, as we might even more closely render it, the impending season. For in God's economy the new state of things is to be ever looked at as impending. So Christ would have us, who rejoice in his first advent, to be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:10

Rendered in A.V.," Which stood only in ( μόνον ἐπὶ ) meats and drinks and divers washings, and carnal ordinances [ καὶ δικαιώμασι σαρκὸς , Textus Receptus], imposed on them ( ἐπικείμενα ) until the time of reformation." This is a satisfactory rendering of the Textus Receptus, ἐπὶ before "meats," etc., being taken in the sense of dependence , and ἐπικείμενα necessarily as agreeing with "gifts and sacrifices" ( δῶρα τε καὶ θυσίαι ) in Hebrews 9:9 .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:11-12

But Christ having come ( παραγενόμενος , cf. Matthew 3:1 ; Luke 12:51 ) a High Priest (or, as High Priest ) of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation ( κτίσεως ) , nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all ( ἐφάπαξ ) into the holy place, having obtained ( εὑράμενος , not necessarily antecedent to εἰσῆλθεν ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:11-12

The pre-eminent priesthood. "But Christ being come a High Priest of good things to come," etc. Our Lord is here represented as the pre-eminent High Priest in three respects. I. IN THE TEMPLE IN WHICH HE MINISTERS . 1. The temple in which he ministers is itself pre-eminent. He has "entered in once for all into the holy place." He ministers in the true holy of holies, of which the Jewish one was only a figure. He is not in the symbolized, but in the veritable and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:11-12

Christ's eternal priesthood. Over against the imperfection and material character of the laws of Moses which concerned meats, drinks, and divers washings, there is here introduced the exalted nature and efficiency of the Redeemer's priesthood. I. This appears IN THE FUTURE AND ENDURING EFFECTS OF HIS SACRIFICE . All his office relates chiefly to eternity, whereas the work of the Levitical priesthood had to do with annual atonement, purity of person, and temporal... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:11-14

Superiority of the new covenant. The advent of the Messiah has removed the defects suggested by the Mosaic ritual. He has obtained for the true Israel those great spiritual blessings which "the first covenant" was powerless to bestow. These verses indicate various elements of superiority. The new covenant has provided— I. A BETTER HIGH PRIEST . ( Hebrews 9:11 ) Our priestly Mediator is "Christ," the Anointed. He has been divinely ordained, equipped, and accredited. He is a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:12

The eternal redemption. One cannot but be struck with the occurrence three times within four verses of the word "eternal." There is the eternal redemption, the eternal Spirit, the eternal inheritance. The change from the old covenant to the new was also an escape from the temporary to the abiding. In the old covenant there had to be a constant succession of things, each lasting for a little time, and then by the nature of it giving way, and needing something new to fill its place. "Now,"... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:13

For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling those that have been defiled ( κεκοινωμένους , cf. Matthew 15:11 , etc; Acts 21:28 ) , sancfifieth to the purifying (literally, unto the purity , καθαρότητα ) of the flesh. In addition to the sin offerings of the Day of Atonement, mention is here made of the red heifer, whose ashes were to be mixed with water for the purification of such as had been ceremonially defiled by contact with dead... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:13-14

Ceremonial and spiritual cleansing. "For if the blood of bulls and of goats," etc. I. THE HUMAN NEED OF CLEANSING . By implication our text teaches the moral defilement of man. Both under the Mosaic and under the Christian dispensation the impurity was moral. But in the earlier dispensation the external and ceremonial uncleanness was made most conspicuous. A very small thing led to this defilement. If a man unwittingly walked over a grave, or touched a dead human body, he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:13-14

Ceremonial and spiritual purification. There are here— I. THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR CEREMONIAL PURIFICATION . A red heifer—the color of red signifying the inflaming nature of sin—was to be slain by a priest; but not the high priest, who was to abstain from all contact with death. And the body and the blood were to be burnt outside the camp. Some of the blood was sprinkled towards the tabernacle, and during the process of burning, cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet wool were thrown... read more
