Hebrews 9:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 [a]Whereby the holy Ghost this signified, that the way into the Holiest of all was not yet opened, while as yet the first tabernacle was standing,
9 [b]Which was a figure [c]for that present time, wherein were offered gifts and sacrifices that could not make holy, concerning the conscience, him that did the service,
10 [d]Which only stood in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal rites, [e]which were enjoined, until the time of reformation.

- Hebrews 9:8 Of that yearly rite and ceremony he gathereth that the way was not by such sacrifices opened into heaven, which was shadowed by the Holiest of all. For why did the high Priest alone enter in thither, shutting out all other, and that to offer sacrifices there both for himself and for others, and after did shut the Holiest of all again?
- Hebrews 9:9 An objection: If the way were not opened into heaven by those sacrifices (that is to say, If the worshippers were not purged by them) why then were those ceremonies used? to wit, that men might be called back to that spiritual example, that is to say, to Christ, who should correct all those things at his coming.
- Hebrews 9:9 For that time that that figure had to last.
- Hebrews 9:10 Another reason why they could not make clean the conscience of the worshipper, to wit, because they were outward and carnal or corporal things.
- Hebrews 9:10 For they were as you would say a burden, from which Christ delivered us.
