SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:6
Y con estas cosas así ordenadas, en el primer Tabernculo siempre entraban los sacerdotes para hacer los oficios de los sacrificios.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Hebrew 9:6
Verse 6. When these thing were thus ordained] When the tabernacle was made, and its furniture placed in it, according to the Divine direction. The priests went always into the first Tabernacle] That is, into the first part of the tabernacle, or holy place, into which he went every day twice, accomplishing the services, tav latreiav epitelountev, which included his burning the incense at the morning and evening sacrifice, dressing the lamps, removing the old show-bread and laying on the new, and sprinkling the blood of the sin-offerings before the veil Lev. iv. 6: and for these works he must have constant access to the place.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. Now when these things were thus ordained , etc..] Or prepared and got ready; that is, when the tabernacle was finished, and set up, and provided with all its vessels and furniture: the priests went always into the first tabernacle ; the first part of the tabernacle, which was called the holy place, ( Hebrews 9:2) here the common priests went continually every day, morning and evening; the Syriac and Ethiopic versions read, the outward tabernacle, in distinction from the innermost part of the tabernacle, or the most holy place: accomplishing the service of God ; by offering sacrifices, burning incense, and trimming the lamps, which they did every day: the priests entered into the holy place every day for service; but they might not go in at any other time but the time of service the phrase, of God, is not in the text, but is a supplement; and it was usual with the Jews to call the worship of the temple, and especially that part of it which lay in sacrifices, hdwb[ , the service: Simeon the just used to say, the world stands upon three things; upon the law, hdwb[h l[w , and upon the service, and upon beneficence f180 ; by the service, the commentators on the passage understand sacrifices; and again it is said f182 , no man enters into the court hdwb[l , for service, though he is clean, until he has dipped himself: the word here used in the Greek text is in the plural number, and may be rendered the services, because there were several sorts of services performed every day, as before observed, and several sacrifices offered; and the Vulgate Latin version renders it, the offices of sacrifices; and the Ethiopic version, their offerings; and the Arabic version, offices: and the service which the high priest performed in the holiest of all once a year, was divers, which is mentioned in the following verses, and is called service, ( Hebrews 9:8) it is said, that on the day of atonement there were five twdwb[ , services of the morning daily sacrifice f183 , in which the high priest ministered in his golden garments: but here the service of the common priests is meant, which was every day; and it becomes such who are employed in sacred service; both to be constant in it, and to do it fully and completely.
Ver. 7 But into the second went the high priest alone, once every year , etc..] Though this is not expressed in so many words in ( Leviticus 16:2) only it is said that Aaron came not at all times into the holy place within the vail; yet it is the constant and generally received sense of the Jewish writers, in agreement with the apostle here, that the high priest went into the holy of holies but once a year f184 , on the day of atonement, which was on the tenth of the month Tisri, and answers to part of September; not but that he went in more than once on that day, for he went in no less than four times f185 ; the first time he went in to offer incense; the second time with the blood of the bullock, to sprinkle it; the third time with the blood of the goat; and the fourth time to bring out the censer f186 ; and if he entered a fifth time, they say he was worthy of death; wherefore Philo the Jew f187 seems to be mistaken when he affirms that, if he went in three or four times on the same day, he suffered death, nor was there any pardon for him; and as it was but one day in a year he might enter, so when he did, no other man, either Israelite or priest, might go in along with him; he went in alone without any attendance: the Jews say f188 , that a cord or thong was bound to the feet of the high priest when he went into the holy of holies, that if he died there, the rest might be able to draw him out; for it was not lawful for another priest to go in, no, not an high priest, none besides him on the day of atonement. Pausanias makes mention of a temple of Minerva into which the priests entered once every year; which very likely was observed in imitation of this custom of the Jewish high priest; who in it was a type of Christ, and of his entrance into heaven, and of his constant and continued intercession there: not without blood ; for he went in with the blood of the bullock and the blood of the goat; which was typical of the blood of Christ, by which he entered in once into the holy place, into heaven, when he had obtained eternal redemption by it, ( Hebrews 9:12) which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people; the bullock was offered by the high priest for himself and his family; and the goat for the sins of the people of Israel, even all their iniquities, transgressions, and sins, ( Leviticus 16:11,15,16,21), but Christ the antitype having no sin, had no need to offer for himself, only for the sins of the people; (see Gill on Hebrews 7:27).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-10 - The apostle goes on to speak of the Old Testament services. Christ having undertaken to be our High Priest, could not enter into heave till he had shed his blood for us; and none of us can enter, eithe into God's gracious presence here, or his glorious presence hereafter but by the blood of Jesus. Sins are errors, great errors, both in judgment and practice; and who can understand all his errors? The leave guilt upon the conscience, not to be washed away but by the bloo of Christ. We must plead this blood on earth, while he is pleading it for us in heaven. A few believers, under the Divine teaching, saw something of the way of access to God, of communion with him, and of admission into heaven through the promised Redeemer, but the Israelite in general looked no further than the outward forms. These could no take away the defilement or dominion of sin. They could neithe discharge the debts, nor resolve the doubts, of him who did the service. Gospel times are, and should be, times of reformation, or clearer light as to all things needful to be known, and of greate love, causing us to bear ill-will to none, but good-will to all. We have greater freedom, both of spirit and speech, in the gospel, an greater obligations to a more holy living.

6. The inferiority of the ancient system was proved by the old tabernacle itself: by its division into two parts, both of which were inaccessible to the people.
