Of good things to come; of the substance of those good things of which the rites of the Mosaic economy were only the shadow. Compare chap Hebrews 10:1.

By a greater and more perfect tabernacle; to be connected immediately with the words, "he entered in once," verse Hebrews 9:12. The meaning is, that just as the Jewish high-priest entered by the way of the earthly tabernacle into the earthly holy of holies, so Christ, our great High-priest, has entered through the tabernacle of the heavens not made with hands, into the true holy of holies above, there to present before God not the blood of bulls and goats, but his own blood, as an expiation for the sins of his people.
