Hebrews 9:9
_ _ Which — “The which,” namely, anterior tabernacle: “as being that which was” [Alford].
_ _ figure — Greek, “parable”: a parabolic setting forth of the character of the Old Testament.
_ _ for — “in reference to the existing time.” The time of the temple-worship really belonged to the Old Testament, but continued still in Paul’s time and that of his Hebrew readers. “The time of reformation” (Hebrews 9:10) stands in contrast to this, “the existing time”; though, in reality, “the time of reformation,” the New Testament time, was now present and existing. So “the age to come,” is the phrase applied to the Gospel, because it was present only to believers, and its fullness even to them is still to come. Compare Hebrews 9:11, “good things to come.”
_ _ in which — tabernacle, not time, according to the reading of the oldest manuscripts. Or translate, “according to which” parabolic representation, or figure.
_ _ were — Greek, “are.”
_ _ gifts — unbloody oblations.
_ _ could not — Greek, “cannot”: are not able.
_ _ him that did the service — any worshipper. The Greek is “latreuein,” serve God, which is all men’s duty; not “leitourgein,” to serve in a ministerial office.
_ _ make ... perfect — perfectly remove the sense of guilt, and sanctify inwardly through love.
_ _ as pertaining to the conscience — “in respect to the (moral-religious) consciousness.” They can only reach as far as the outward flesh (compare “carnal ordinances,” Hebrews 9:10, Hebrews 9:13, Hebrews 9:14). |
Hebrews 9:9
Which — Tabernacle, with all its furniture and services. Is a figure — Or type, of good things to come Which cannot perfect the worshipper — Neither the priest nor him who brought the offering. As to his conscience — So that he should be no longer conscious of the guilt or power of sin. Observe, the temple was as yet standing. |
Hebrews 9:9
(4) Which [was] a figure (f) for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
(4) An objection: If the way to heaven was not opened by those sacrifices (that is to say, if the worshippers were not purged by them) why then were those ceremonies used? That is, that men might be called back to that spiritual example, that is to say, to Christ who would correct all those things at his coming.
(f) For that time that that figure had to last. |
- a figure:
Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Hebrews 11:19 Accounting that God [was] able to raise [him] up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
Romans 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
|
- the time:
Hebrews 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need [was there] that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Hebrews 11:39-40 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: ... God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
1 Peter 1:11-12 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. ... Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
|
- gifts:
Hebrews 5:1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
|
- that could:
Hebrews 9:13-14 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: ... How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hebrews 7:18-19 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. ... For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
Hebrews 10:1-4 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. ... For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Hebrews 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
Psalms 40:6-7 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. ... Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is] written of me,
Galatians 3:21 [Is] the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
|
- as pertaining:
Psalms 51:16-19 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it]: thou delightest not in burnt offering. ... Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
