Hebrews 9:8 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hebrews 9:8-14

In these verses the apostle undertakes to deliver to us the mind and meaning of the Holy Ghost in all the ordinances of the tabernacle and legal economy, comprehending both place and worship. The scriptures of the Old Testament were given by inspiration of God; holy men of old spoke and wrote as the Holy Ghost directed them. And these Old-Testament records are of great use and significancy, not only to those who first received them, but even to Christians, who ought not to satisfy themselves... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Hebrews 9:6-10

9:6-10 Since these preparations have been made, the priests continually enter into the first tabernacle as they perform the various acts of worship. But into the second tabernacle the High Priest alone enters, and that once a year and not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people. By this the Holy Spirit is showing that the way into the Holy Place was not yet opened up so long as the first tabernacle stood. Now the first tabernacle stands for this present... read more

The Holy Ghost this signifying ,.... This shows that the Holy Ghost existed under the Old Testament; that he is a distinct person in the Godhead, a personal act being here ascribed to him; that he is truly and properly God, the God whose service the priests accomplished in the tabernacle; and by whom Moses was admonished to make all things in it according to the pattern, and by whom the high priest was warned not to come at all times within the vail; moreover, that the Levitical ordinances... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:8

The Holy Ghost this signifying - These services were divinely appointed, and by each of them the Holy Spirit of God is supposed to speak. The way into the holiest - That full access to God was not the common privilege of the people, while the Mosaic economy subsisted. That the apostle means that it is only by Christ that any man and every man can approach God, is evident from Hebrews 10:19-22 , and it is about this, and not about the tabernacle of this world, that he is here... 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 9:6-10

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

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
