People's Commentary (NT)
Hebrews 9:10
[Which stood] only . . . carnal ordinances. The Revised Version is
much clearer: "[Being] only (with meats and drinks and divers washings)
carnal ordinances"
Divers washings. "Baptisms" in the Greek. Immersions of the whole
body were often required in the Jewish service. For examples see
Exodus 29:4; Le 16:4 17:15 Nu 19:7. These washings were all carnal
ordinances for ceremonial purification.
Carnal ordinances. These rites pertained to the flesh, were
outward, did not renew the spirit, and were temporal, imposed
until the time of reformation. That is, until the new covenant
was ushered in.
