Hebrews 9:23
The patterns of things in the heavens. See Hebrews 8:5. The
tabernacle and all its service were shadows.
Should be purified with these. These were purified, as we have
just seen, by blood.
But the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices and these.
By the heavenly things are meant all of which the tabernacle was
typical. The holy place was a type of the church, which is cleansed
with the blood of Christ. Perhaps, too, there is a reference to the
redeemed church above, in the heavens, which eternally praises him who
cleansed it with his blood.
