Study note

Hebrews 9:11

  • Christ is now the high priest over all the good things of the new covenant. God appointed him, as mentioned in Psalm 110:4 (Hebrews 5:1–10; 7:1–28), and he offered a better sacrifice.

  • that have come: Some manuscripts say that are about to come, either from the old covenant's viewpoint or looking forward to God's future plan.

  • Christ’s sacrifice is better because it was made in the greater, perfect tabernacle in heaven, not the earthly one (see 8:5 and corresponding study note).
