Hebrews 9:7

9:7 But only the high priest enters once a year into the inner tent, ¹  and not without blood that he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance. ² 

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 ³  eternal redemption.

Hebrews 9:24-25

9:24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands – the representation ⁴  of the true sanctuary ⁵  – but into heaven itself, and he appears now in God’s presence for us. 9:25 And he did not enter to offer ⁶  himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own,

¹ tn Grk “the second tent.”

² tn Or perhaps “the unintentional sins of the people”; Grk “the ignorances of the people.” Cf. BDAG 13 s.v. ἀγνόημα, “sin committed in ignorance/unintentionally.” This term seems to be simply a synonym for “sins” (cf. Heb 5:2) and does not pick up the distinction made in Num 15:22-31 between unwitting sin and “high-handed” sin. The Day of Atonement ritual in Lev 16 covered all the sins of the people, not just the unwitting ones.

³ 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.”

⁴ tn Or “prefiguration.”

⁵ tn The word “sanctuary” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity.

⁶ tn Grk “and not that he might offer,” continuing the previous construction.
