This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The Holy Ghost this signifying (touto dēlountos tou pneumatos tou hagiou). Genitive absolute with present active participle of dēloō, to make plain. Used as in Heb 12:27.
The way into the Holy place (tēn tōn hagiōn hodon). Here as in Heb 9:12, Heb 9:25 tōn hagiōn is used for the very Presence of God as in Heb 8:2 and is in the objective genitive. Hodon is the accusative of general reference with the infinitive.
Hath not yet been made manifest (mēpō pephanerōsthai). Perfect passive infinitive of phaneroō, to make plain (phaneros) in indirect discourse after dēlountos with negative mēpō.
While as the first tabernacle is yet standing (eti tēs prōtēs skēnēs echousēs stasin). Another genitive absolute with present active participle of echō (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 (Heb 9:3) kept the priests out of the Holy of Holies (the very Presence of God).
