Hebrews Study Notes—Chapter 9

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 9:7
  
  the high priest enters alone into the second compartment: On one day in the year, the Day of Atonement, the high priest was allowed to enter “the second compartment” of the tabernacle, the Most Holy. There he carried out acts that were rich in symbolic meaning. (Heb 9:9 and study note) After offering incense, he spattered blood from sacrificial offerings before the ark of the covenant. The cover, or lid, of the Ark with the two golden cherubs represented Jehovah’s throne in heaven. So it was as if the high priest were in Jehovah’s very presence. The high priest’s work that day included making atonement “in behalf of himself and his house [that is, the tribe of Levi] and in behalf of the entire congregation of Israel.”—Le 16:1-34.
