Hebrews 9:21-23

Context
9:21 And both the tabernacle and all the utensils of worship he likewise sprinkled with blood. 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 1  of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices, 2  but the heavenly things themselves required 3  better sacrifices than these.

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

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

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