This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Ordinances of divine service (δικαιώματα λατρείας)

For δικαίωμα ordinance, see on Rom 5:16. For λατρεία service, see on Luk 1:74; see on Rev 22:3; see on Phi 3:3; see on 2Ti 1:3. The meaning is ordinances directed to or adapted for divine service.

A worldly sanctuary (τὸ ἅγιον κοσμικόν)

The A.V. misses the force of the article. Rend. and its sanctuary a sanctuary of this world. Τὸ ἅγιον in the sense of sanctuary only here. Elsewhere the plural τὰ ἅγια. of this world in contrast with the heavenly sanctuary to be mentioned later.
