The Holy Ghost this signifying (touto dhlountov tou pneumatov tou agiou). Genitive absolute with present active participle of dhlow, to make plain. Used as in Hebrews 12:27.
The way into the Holy place (thn twn agiwn odon). Here as in verses Hebrews 9:12, Hebrews 9:25 twn agiwn is used for the very Presence of God as in Hebrews 8:2 and is in the objective genitive. odon is the accusative of general reference with the infinitive.
Hath not yet been made manifest (mhpw pefanerwsqai). Perfect passive infinitive of fanerow, to make plain (fanerov) in indirect discourse after dhlountov with negative mhpw.
While as the first tabernacle is yet standing (eti thv prwthv skhnhv exoushv stasin). Another genitive absolute with present active participle of exw (having standing stasin), "the first tabernacle still having a place." The veil at the entrance kept the people out of the first tent as the second veil (verse Hebrews 9:3) kept the priests out of the Holy of Holies (the very Presence of God).
