Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 6-10 Priests enter tabernacle; high priest alone once every year, not without blood for sins; offerings until the time of reformation
    • B 11-12 Christ as high priest with greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands; he entered in once into the holy place
      • C 13-15 Blood purifying flesh; Christ's blood will purge conscience through death for redemption
        • D 16-18 Testament requires death of the testator; first testament was dedicated without blood
          • X 20 Central pivot: "This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you"
        • D' 22 Without shedding of blood is no remission
      • C' 23 Heavenly things purified with better sacrifices
    • B' 24 Christ not entered into the holy places made with hands but heaven itself
  • A' 25-28 High priest enters yearly with blood of others; Christ offered once in the end of the world; appointed to die once, then judgment; Christ appears second time without sin
