Notes

Hebrews 9:6–8

In the Holy Place, which was the first room of the tabernacle (Hebrews 9:2), priests had specific duties. They kept the lamps burning and replaced the sacred loaves of bread regularly (Exodus 27:20 –21; Leviticus 24:8).

Hebrews 9:1–10:18

This section explains that Christ's death, as the sacrifice in the new covenant, is better than the sacrifices in the old covenant. In Hebrews 9:1 –10, the author describes worship practices under the old covenant rules (see Exodus 28 –29; Leviticus 1–10; 16:1–17:16). In Hebrews 9:11–10:18, these rules are compared to Christ's superior offering.

Hebrews 8:1–10:18

This passage explains that the role of Jesus as the heavenly high priest is better than the role of earthly priests.
