Hebrews 9:6–15

⁶And these things having been thus prepared, into the first tabernacle, indeed, at all times the priests do go in, performing the services, ⁷and into the second, once in the year, only the chief priest, not apart from blood, which he doth offer for himself and the errors of the people.

¹⁵And because of this, of a new covenant he is mediator, that, death having come, for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those called may receive the promise of the age-during inheritance,
