Hebrews 13:9-11
New Catholic Bible
9 Do not be led astray by all kinds of strange doctrines. It is good for us to have our hearts strengthened by grace, and not by ceremonial foods, which have not benefited those who partake of them.
10 We have an altar[a] from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat. 11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest as a sin offering are burned outside the camp.[b]

- Hebrews 13:10 Have an altar: an allusion to Eucharistic worship and sacrifice, compared with the Levitical worship and sacrifices of the Old Testament (“the tabernacle”).
- Hebrews 13:11 Camp: here, as in v. 9, the author uses the great Jewish rite of atonement as a point of comparison (see Lev 16:27).
