Hebrews 9:11
Summary for Heb 9:11-10:18: 9:11–10:18 a The author now contrasts the old system (9:1-10 b) with the superior sacrifice made by Christ as High Priest: The blood of Christ’s offering was his own blood, not the blood of animals (9:13-22 c; cp. 9:7 d); Christ’s offering was made in the heavenly Tabernacle, not the earthly one (9:23-24 e; cp. 9:1-5 f); and Christ’s offering, rather than being made continually, was made just one time (9:25–10:18 g; cp. 7:27 h; 9:6-7 i). 9:11 j Christ has now become the High Priest over all the good things of the new covenant. He was appointed by God in accord with Ps 110:4 k (Heb 5:1-10 l; 7:1-28 m) and offered a superior offering.• that have come: Some manuscripts read that are about to come, either from the perspective of the old covenant era or looking forward to the culmination of God’s plan in the future.
• Christ’s sacrifice is superior because of where it was made: in that greater, more perfect Tabernacle in heaven rather than the earthly Tabernacle (see 8:5 n and corresponding study note).
