Hebrews 9:2-3 NIV

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hebrews 9:1-5

The Old Testament Cult inferior to the Perfection of Christ's Sacrifice. Description of the Tabernacle and its appointments: v. 1. Then, verily, the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service and a worldly sanctuary. v. 2. For there was a Tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick and the table and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary. v. 3. And after the second veil the Tabernacle, which is called the Holiest of all; v. 4. which had the golden censer,... read more

the Imperfect Way of Approach to God Hebrews 9:1-10 With careful enumeration each item of the Tabernacle furniture is specified, because of each there is a spiritual equivalent in the unseen, spiritual Temple to which we belong. The veil that screened the Most Holy Place and forbade entrance, save once a year, taught that fellowship with God was not fully open. Ignorance, unbelief, unpreparedness of heart still weave a heavy veil which screens God from the soul’s gaze. The altar of incense... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 9:1-28

Because of the better priesthood and the better covenant a better worship is established. First, the sanctuary is described. Christ is set forth as the One who has entered into a greater Tabernacle through a greater service. His entry into the Holy Place is "once ' for all," because He has for ever dealt with sin. The superiority of the sacrifice is emphasized, for it is able to "cleanse the conscience from dead works to serve the living God." The words used here to describe the central... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:1-10

A Consideration of The Old Ordinances Under Which Men Were Barred From Entering The Holy Presence of God. They Had To Worship From Afar Using Things of No Lasting Validity (Hebrews 9:1-10 ) Hebrews 9:1, ‘Now even the first covenant had ordinances of divine ministry and its holy sanctuary of this world.’ Even under the first covenant there were ‘ordinances of divine ministry’, and a ‘holy sanctuary’ (hagion). And they were admittedly genuine. But they were nevertheless ‘of this world’, they... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:2

‘For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first, in which were the lampstand, and the table, and the showbread (literally ‘the presentation of the loaves’), which is called the Holy place.’ The ancient Tabernacle is now described and seen here as split into two smaller tabernacles, the first ‘the Holy Place’, and the second ‘the Holy of Holies’, the latter entered only from the Holy Place. In the first were the lampstand, the table, and the showbread. And this is called the Holy Place, the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:3-5

‘And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies, having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant, and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.’ And then there was the second tabernacle which was called ‘The Holy of Holies’, the only entrance to which was... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:1-14

Hebrews 9:1-2 Chronicles : . The two ministries are now contrasted, in order to show that the OT institutions were imperfect, and pointed beyond themselves to that real access to God which we have obtained through Christ. Hebrews 9:1-Deuteronomy : . The first covenant was associated with a system of worship ordained by God Himself, although its sanctuary was “ of this world”— i.e. composed of visible and material elements. A Tabernacle was set up which consisted of two parts, divided by a... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 9:2

For there was a tabernacle made: the Spirit descends to a particular account of the three former adjuncts to the covenant, beginning with the last, the sanctuary; which being glorious, he advanceth the glory of Christ from the place of his ministry above it. For is demonstrative of what was asserted Hebrews 9:1, the first visible habitation that God had amongst men, 2 Samuel 7:6, as a token of his gracious presence with them. This tabernacle consisted of three parts, of the court where stood... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 9:3

And after the second veil: this distinguisheth the second tabernacle from the first; for, passing through it to the end of it, there hung up a curious veil made of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, with figures of cherubims, Exodus 26:31,Exodus 26:32; Exodus 36:35,Exodus 36:36; Exodus 40:21. The mystery of which is interpreted after, Hebrews 9:8; see Hebrews 6:19. A veil noteth distance and obscurity; or, covering, opposite to that which is open and free. The tabernacle which is... read more
