This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb 9:12. Τράγων καὶ μόσχων, of goats and calves) One goat and one bullock was sacrificed at one time, Lev 16:9; Lev 16:3 : but that particular animal was not by itself better than all the animals of the same species; therefore it is here put in the plural number An additional reason besides, for the plural, was the annual repetition of the sacrifices. פר, LXX., μόσχος, Lev 16:9; Lev 16:3, and elsewhere.-εἰς τὰ ἅγια, into the holy place) into heaven, Heb 9:24. αἰωνίαν, eternal) not merely for a day or a year.-εὑράμενος, having found or obtained) So, I have found a ransom, Job 33:24. The zeal of Him who has found or obtained, as also His fidelity and wisdom, are denoted: the newness and joyousness of the finding or thing found, ch. Heb 10:20. The access of Christ to the Father was arduous; ch. Heb 5:7. No one previously had trodden the way of life; Act 2:28; Joh 3:13. Christ could not but find: but yet to seek was a matter of labour and difficulty.
