Matthew Poole and continuators on Hebrews 9:23

23 It was necessary therefore , that the patterns of the things in the Heaven should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

This conclusion the Spirit draweth from the antecedent, v. 18. proved in the following Verses, therefore is it here rehearsed the illative Particle therefore, is but to summ up the use of Blood about the first Tabernacle, and that Testament-dispensation. It is positively necessary by the Will of God, expressively enjoining them, to point out better, and that there might be an agreement of the Type with the Truth.

The Tabernacles in all their parts, the Book of the Covenant, Vessels, Services, &c. Being Types, Signs, Examples, Shadows of things in Heaven, must be ceremonially purged and separated from common use to Divine, by those external, ritual sprinkling and lustrations, especially with Beasts Blood, mystically representing better Blood and Purifications of persons and things than these.

But things more excellent and glorious than earthly ones, the Gospel-Tabernacle in its parts, Testament, and Services, about which Christ ministreth, which are Heavenly for their decent, agreeableness with, and tendency to it; they are spiritual and it corruptible, v. 11, 12. chap. 8.2. and 12.22. Gal. 4.26. Revel. 21. are to be dedicated, set apart, put in force, and sanctified to God by the one Sacrifice of Christ, of more value, worth, and virtue than all the legal Sacrifices together. It is expressed plurally, to answer the opposite term, and to set out its excellency, being far above all others; the Blood of it being that of God by personal union, and which is only efficacious for eternal good, and available with him; so ought it to be esteemed as it was in Truth, and not quarrelled with by these Hebrews.
