Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
When these things were thus ordained - Thus arranged or appointed. Having shown what the tabernacle was, the apostle proceeds to show what was done in it. "The priests went always into the first tabernacle." The outer tabernacle called the holy place. They were not permitted to enter the Holy of Holies, that being entered only once in a year by the High Priest. The holy place was entered every day to make the morning and evening oblation.
Accomplishing the service of God - Performing the acts of worship which God had appointed - burning incense, etc.; Luk 1:9. |
Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
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.
Always (διὰ παντὸς)
Rend. continually. The phrase is usually found in connection with matters involving relations to God - worship, sacrifice, etc. See Mat 18:10; Luk 24:53; Act 2:25; Act 10:2; Th2 3:16; Heb 13:5.
Accomplishing (ἐπιτελοῦντες)
See on Heb 8:5, and see on Gal 3:3. The verb is used of performing religious services by Herodotus. See i. 167; ii. 63, 122; iv. 186. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
