The description of the rites and sacrifices of the law;11. which are far inferior to the dignity and perfection of the sacrifice of Christ. Now the first covenant The "first covenant" refers to the Mosaic Covenant, established between God and the Israelites at Mount Sinai. This covenant is foundational to the Old Testament and includes the Law given through Moses. It is characterized by a system of laws, sacrifices, and rituals designed to set Israel apart as God's chosen people. This covenant is often contrasted with the New Covenant, which is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, as seen in Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Hebrews 8:6-13. had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary. Persons / Places / Events 1. First CovenantRefers to the Mosaic Covenant, which was established between God and the Israelites at Mount Sinai. It included the Law and the instructions for worship and the tabernacle. 2. Regulations for Worship These were the specific laws and ordinances given by God to the Israelites, detailing how they were to conduct their worship, including sacrifices, offerings, and priestly duties. 3. Earthly Sanctuary This refers to the tabernacle, a portable earthly dwelling place for God among the Israelites, which was later succeeded by the Temple in Jerusalem. Teaching Points Understanding the Old CovenantRecognize the purpose of the first covenant as a means to guide the Israelites in their relationship with God and to foreshadow the coming of Christ. Symbolism of the Earthly Sanctuary Reflect on how the tabernacle and its rituals pointed to deeper spiritual truths and the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, our High Priest. The Temporary Nature of the Old System Acknowledge that the regulations and the earthly sanctuary were temporary and preparatory, leading to the establishment of a new and better covenant through Christ. Worship in Spirit and Truth Embrace the call to worship God not through external rituals but in spirit and truth, as Jesus taught in John 4:24. Living as a Sanctuary Consider how, as believers, our bodies are now temples of the Holy Spirit, calling us to live lives that honor God (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).IX. (1) The subject commenced in the last chapter (Hebrews 9:1-6) is continued here. The mention of the "more excellent ministry" led to the description of the new covenant with which it is united (Hebrews 9:6-13). This verse, then, attaches itself to the fifth and sixth verses of Hebrews 8 (Hebrews 8:5-6): "Even the first (covenant), then, had ordinances of divine service and its sanctuary, of this world." The "service" is spoken of again in Hebrews 9:6; the "ordinances" in Hebrews 9:10, where they are called "carnal." Very similar is the language here, for the words so emphatically standing at the close of the verse are probably descriptive not of the "sanctuary" only, but also of the "ordinances." Both place and ministrations belonged to this world, and thus stand in contrast with "the heavenly things," of which the Tabernacle was a token and shadow. (See Note on Hebrews 8:5.) The ordinary Greek text (here following the first printed Greek Testament) has "the first Tabernacle," and this reading was followed by Tyndale and Coverdale. All ancient MSS. omit the word; and, as in a long succession of verses "covenant" has been the leading thought, the rendering of the Authorised version is certainly correct. . . . Verse 1. - Then verily (or, now indeed) the first covenant also (or, even the first covenant) had ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary (rather its sanctuary of this world (τὸ ἅγιον κοσμεκόν). The definite article points to the well-known one of the Mosaic dispensation, which, unlike the true one, was in its bearings, as well as locally and materially, of this world only). This sanctuary itself is now first described in necessary preparation for an account of priestly ministrations in it.Parallel Commentaries ...
