Hebrews

Hebrews 9:7–8

⁷But only the high priest entered the second room, and then only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.

⁸By this arrangement the Holy Spirit was showing that the way into the Most Holy Place^e had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.
