• The Jewish system had divine sanction till Christ came, accomplished His work, and took His seat on the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens. Ritualism in the Christian congregation is not only ignorance but contempt, however unwitting, of the gospel as well as of the church, and what is graver still, of Christ's work and priesthood. (“Hebrews 9:1-5” by W. Kelly)
• The writer, with a heart full of the truth and of the importance of that truth, teaches the value and the extent of the sacrifice of Christ... These three results are presented: first, the opened way into the sanctuary was manifested, that is, access to God Himself, where He is; second, the purification of the conscience; third, an eternal redemption (I may add the promise of an eternal inheritance). (“Hebrews 9” by J.N. Darby)
• We are viewed as on earth, and being on earth we have free and full access to God in the sanctuary. We go in perfect liberty to God, where His holiness dwells, and where nothing that is contrary to Him can be admitted. What happiness! (“Hebrews 9” by J.N. Darby)
• Now in chapter 9 he presents the new sacrifice of Christ in all its infinite value, together with the new sanctuary to which the sacrifice of Christ gives access. (“The New Sacrifice and the New Sanctuary: Hebrews 9” by H. Smith)
• It was essentially “a worldly sanctuary.” By its beauty, its elaborate ritual and impressive ceremonies, it made special appeal to the natural man, and was thus entirely suited to this world. (“The Earthly Sanctuary With Its Carnal Sacrifices: Hebrews 9:1-7” by H. Smith)

Latreia, from the same root as latreuo in ver. 6, see Note e.

The form of words here is greatly disputed. The grammatical order would require it to be translated "the holy universal order"; but the word, it is contended, does not exist with this sense. I have not ventured so to translate it. I doubt it to be the same as kosmion, "ornament." Kosmos is "the world," from the order which is in it. The tabernacle represented all this order, the pattern of heavenly things. Hence, if kosmikon be used, a neuter adjective for a substantive, or coined in this use, it would mean "the holy order of the tabernacle, which represented the vast scene in which God's glory is displayed in Christ." If not, we must say, "and the sanctuary, a worldly one." "A worldly sanctuary" is not the sense. "A worldly sanctuary" it is not, according to regular grammar and the constant usage of the Greek language.

WK Translation Notes

a
The KJV did not follow the T. R. in acknowledging the word tabernacle. Like the Revisers, it supplies "covenant."
b
The rendering in the KJV is untenable; it should be, "the sanctuary a worldly one," rather than "its sanctuary, a sanctuary of this world."
