Hebrews 9:12

9:12 and he entered once for all into the most holy place not by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood, and so he himself secured ¹  eternal redemption.

Hebrews 9:22-23

9:22 Indeed according to the law almost everything was purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. 9:23 So it was necessary for the sketches ²  of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices, ³  but the heavenly things themselves required ⁴  better sacrifices than these.

¹ tn This verb occurs in the Greek middle voice, which here intensifies the role of the subject, Christ, in accomplishing the action: “he alone secured”; “he and no other secured.”

² tn Or “prototypes,” “outlines,” referring to the earthly sanctuary. See Heb 8:5 above for the prior use of this term.

³ tn Grk “with these”; in the translation the referent (sacrifices) has been specified for clarity.

⁴ tn Grk “the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.”
