Hebrews 9:10 → 2 Kings 23:4

Hebrews 9:10 describes the Levitical apparatus as "external regulations imposed until the time of reform" (διόρθωσις) — regulations of food, drink, and ceremonial washings imposed only until a new order should set things right. 2 Kings 23:4 supplies a conceptual (covenant-category) contrast, not a verbal echo: Josiah commands the high priest and doorkeepers to "remove from the temple of the LORD all the articles made for Baal" and burns them, a sweeping reform that purges the cultus and renews covenant fidelity. The connection is best read as Contrast (Echo), not typology; TT 086 reads it the same way. There is no escalation from Josiah's reform to the διόρθωσις of Hebrews; Josiah reformed within the old order, cleansing the temple so the existing Mosaic cultus could function rightly, whereas Hebrews announces a "reformation" that replaces the whole external order with the new covenant in Christ's blood. Josiah set the shadow-system back in working order; Christ abolishes the shadow by bringing the substance. The contrast is the point: the best the old covenant could do, even under its most zealous reforming king, was to restore a provisional, conscience-incapable system (9:9) — proof of its insufficiency rather than its fulfillment. The telos is the surpassing worth of what arrives at "the time of reformation": not another cleansing of the temple but a High Priest who, by His own blood, secures eternal redemption and cleanses the conscience to serve the living God (9:12, 14).
