Hebreos 9:10

10 puesto que tienen que ver sólo con comidas y bebidas, y diversas abluciones y ordenanzas para el cuerpo, impuestas hasta el tiempo de reformar las cosas.

Hebreos 9:10 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 9:10

[Which stood] only in meats and drinks
That is, along with the gifts and sacrifices offered, there only were meat offerings and drink offerings; things which only respect the body, and cannot therefore make perfect, as to the conscience; to which may be added, that while the tabernacle was standing, and typical service was in being, there was a prohibition of certain meats, as unclean, and an allowance of others, as clean, ( Leviticus 11:2-31 ) and there were certain drinks which were unlawful to certain persons, at certain times, as to the priests and Nazarites, ( Leviticus 10:9 ) ( Numbers 6:3 ) and which, for the above reason, could make no man perfect:

and divers washings
or "baptisms": the doctrine of which, the apostle would not have laid again, ( Hebrews 6:2 ) these were the washings of the priests and of the Israelites, and of sacrifices, and of garments, and of vessels and other things; and which, because they were performed by immersion, they are called "baptisms": and now since these only sanctified to the purifying of the flesh, or what was outward, they could not reach the conscience, or make perfect with respect to that: and

carnal ordinances:
which belonged to the flesh, and not the spirit or soul, and therefore could not affect that; besides, these were only

imposed on them until the time of reformation;
they were enjoined the Jews only, though by God himself; and were put upon them as a burden, or a yoke, and which was on some accounts intolerable, but were not to continue any longer than the time of the Gospel, here called "the time of reformation", or of "correction", and emendation; in which, things that were faulty and deficient are amended and perfected, and in which burdensome rites and ceremonies are removed, and better ordinances introduced: or rather of direction: in which saints are directed to Christ, the sum and substance of all types, shadows, and sacrifices, and in whom alone perfection is.

Hebreos 9:10 In-Context

8 Queriendo el Espíritu Santo dar a entender esto: que el camino al Lugar Santísimo aún no había sido revelado en tanto que el primer tabernáculo permaneciera en pie;

9 lo cual es un símbolo para el tiempo presente, según el cual se presentan ofrendas y sacrificios que no pueden hacer perfecto en su conciencia al que practica ese culto,

10 puesto que tienen que ver sólo con comidas y bebidas, y diversas abluciones y ordenanzas para el cuerpo, impuestas hasta el tiempo de reformar las cosas.

11 Pero cuando Cristo apareció como sumo sacerdote de los bienes futuros , a través de un mayor y más perfecto tabernáculo, no hecho con manos, es decir, no de esta creación,

12 y no por medio de la sangre de machos cabríos y de becerros, sino por medio de su propia sangre, entró al Lugar Santísimo una vez para siempre, habiendo obtenido redención eterna.
