Interpretation of Hebrews Chapter 9 Verse 1

Hebrews 9:1 explains that the first covenant between God and His people, established with the Israelites, had regulations for worship and a physical sanctuary on earth. This sanctuary was a place of sacrifice and a symbol of the presence of God among His people. It was a place of holiness and reverence, as it was where God dwelled and where His law was to be observed.

There was a spiritual significance and importance to the ordinances and the sanctuary of the first covenant.
