HEB 9:4

Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

BSB

When everything had been prepared in this way, the priests entered regularly into the first room to perform their sacred duties.

Koinōnos

With these things prepared in this way, into the first tabernacle the priests enter at all times, performing the sacred services;

HEB 9:7

But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

but into the second, only the high priest, once a year, not without blood, which he offers on behalf of himself and the ignorances of the people —

HEB 9:8

KJV

The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

BSB

By this arrangement the Holy Spirit was showing that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.

Koinōnos

the Holy Spirit indicating this: the way into the Holy Places has not yet been made plain while the first tabernacle is still standing,

HEB 9:9

KJV

Which was a figure 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;

BSB

It is an illustration for the present time, because the gifts and sacrifices being offered were unable to cleanse the conscience of the worshiper.

Koinōnos

which is a parable for the present time — according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able to perfect the worshiper with respect to conscience,

HEB 9:10

KJV

Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

BSB

They consist only in food and drink and special washings—external regulations imposed until the time of reform.

Koinōnos

being only in matters of food and drink and various ritual immersions, regulations of the flesh imposed until the time of setting things right.
