Heb. 7:1,11‑27• 1For this Melchisedec, King of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from smiting the kings, and blessed him;
 11If indeed then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for the people had their law given to them in connexion with *it*, what need was there still that a different priest should arise according to the order of Melchisedec, and not be named after the order of Aaron?
 12For, the priesthood being changed, there takes place of necessity a change of law also.
 13For he, of whom these things are said, belongs to a different tribe, of which no one has ever been attached to the service of the altar.
 14For it is clear that our Lord has sprung out of Juda, as to which tribe Moses spake nothing as to priests.
 15And it is yet more abundantly evident, since a different priest arises according to the similitude of Melchisedec,
 16who has been constituted not according to law of fleshly commandment, but according to power of indissoluble life.
 17For it is borne witness, *Thou* art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec.
 18For there is a setting aside of the commandment going before for its weakness and unprofitableness,
 19(for the law perfected nothing,) and the introduction of a better hope by which we draw nigh to God.
 20And by how much it was not without the swearing of an oath;
 21(for they are become priests without the swearing of an oath, but he with the swearing of an oath, by him who said, as to him, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent of it, *Thou* art priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec;)
 22by so much Jesus became surety of a better covenant.
 23And they have been many priests, on account of being hindered from continuing by death;
 24but he, because of his continuing for ever, has the priesthood unchangeable.
 25Whence also he is able to save completely those who approach by him to God, always living to intercede for them.
 26For such a high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and become higher than the heavens:
 27who has not day by day need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for his own sins, then for those of the people; for this he did once for all in having offered up himself. (Heb. 7:1,11‑27)
;
Heb. 8:1• 1Now a summary of the things of which we are speaking is, We have such a one high priest who has sat down on the right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens; (Heb. 8:1)
of good.
Heb. 10:1• 1For the law, having a shadow of the coming good things, not the image itself of the things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually yearly, perfect those who approach. (Heb. 10:1)
by a greater.
Heb. 9:1‑9• 1The first therefore also indeed had ordinances of service, and the sanctuary, a worldly one.
 2For a tabernacle was set up; the first, in which were both the candlestick and the table and the exposition of the loaves, which is called Holy;
 3but after the second veil a tabernacle which is called Holy of holies,
 4having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant, covered round in every part with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, and the rod of Aaron that had sprouted, and the tables of the covenant;
 5and above over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; concerning which it is not now the time to speak in detail.
 6Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle the priests enter at all times, accomplishing the services;
 7but into the second, the high priest only, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people:
 8the Holy Spirit shewing this, that the way of the holy of holies has not yet been made manifest while as yet the first tabernacle has its standing;
 9the which is an image for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices, unable to perfect as to conscience him that worshipped, are offered, (Heb. 9:1‑9)
;

not made.
Heb. 9:23‑24• 23It was necessary then that the figurative representations of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these.
 24For the Christ is not entered into holy places made with hand, figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us: (Heb. 9:23‑24)
;
Acts 7:48• 48But the Most High dwells not in places made with hands; as says the prophet, (Acts 7:48)
;
Acts 17:24‑25• 24The God who has made the world and all things which are in it, *he*, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,
 25nor is served by men's hands as needing something, himself giving to all life and breath and all things; (Acts 17:24‑25)
;
2 Cor. 5:1• 1For we know that if our earthly tabernacle house be destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (2 Cor. 5:1)
;
Col. 2:11• 11in whom also ye have been circumcised with circumcision not done by hand, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of the Christ; (Col. 2:11)
• But now, and only by the death of Christ, is the veil rent; and the Holy Spirit signifies thereby that the way into the holy places has been and is manifested. It was the death-knell of Judaism, but the foundation of better and heavenly blessing (“Hebrews 9:6-10” by W. Kelly)
• while the blessing is fully made known to the believer now, in order to place him in immediate access to God according to the rights of Christ's glory and of redemption actually accomplished for the soul, the phraseology is purposely such as to hold out and ensure "the coming good things" for His people another day (“Hebrews 9:11-14” by W. Kelly)
• "The" greater and more perfect tabernacle is in contrast with the earthly one reared by human hands. (“Hebrews 9:11-14” by W. Kelly)
• In saying “things to come,” the starting point is Israel under the law before the advent of our Lord. (“Hebrews 9” by J.N. Darby)
• Our present relationship with Him is only and altogether heavenly. He acts as priest in a tabernacle which is not of this creation: it is heavenly, in the presence of God, not made with hands. Our place is in heaven. (“Hebrews 9” by J.N. Darby)
• The sacrifice of Christ does indeed secure present blessings for the believer, but the “good things” in reference to which Christ is High Priest are yet “to come.” Thus again the Spirit of God keeps in view the end of our wilderness journey. (“The New Sacrifice: Hebrews 9:11-23” by H. Smith)

JND Translation Notes

+
k
The "good things to come" are the promised blessings to come in with Christ. This Epistle, though addressed to Christians on most precious subjects, does not enter into proper assembly standing. it refers to the assembly in chs. 2 and 12.
l
Dia here gives the character of his coming. He came in the power of and characterized by these things. They are not the place through nor the means by which.
a
Or "greater," as ch. 6.13,16, etc.

W. Kelly Translation

But Christ having come high priest of the good things to comea by theb better and more perfect tabernacle, not handmade (that is, not of this creationc),

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Some ancient witnesses have already "come," which seems a correction to make the phrase exclusively Christian.
b
"The" greater and more perfect tabernacle is in contrast with the earthly one reared by human hands.
c
The RV gives properly "creation," instead of "building," as in the KJV.
