used to have legal requirements: At Heb 9:1-10, Paul mentions a number of features of the tabernacle and of the worship performed there, especially on the Day of Atonement. The term “legal requirements” refers to regulations for worship that the Israelites had to observe under “the former covenant.”—See study note on Heb 8:13.
sacred service: See study note on Ro 9:4 and Glossary.
its holy place on earth: This expression refers to the literal tabernacle, which was a feature of the old covenant. The Greek word rendered “on earth” (ko·smi·kosʹ, related to koʹsmos, “world”) also indicates the idea of “earthly.” (See Glossary, “World.”) That tabernacle was earthly in the sense that it was part of the human realm, something built and used in the world of mankind; it was not heavenly or of the spirit realm.—Heb 9:11; compare Joh 4:21-24.
