"But into the second part, once a year, the high priest alone entered, not without blood, which he offered on behalf of the neglectful offenses of himself and of the people."
— Hebrews 9:7, Catholic Public Domain Version
“But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:”
“but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people: ”
“but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people.”
“But only the high priest enters once a year into the inner tent, and not without blood that he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.”
“But into the second, the high priest alone, once a year: not without blood, which he offereth for his own and the people's ignorance:”
“But only the high priest went into the second, once a year, not without making an offering of blood for himself and for the errors of the people:”
“But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:”

And over the ark were the Cherubim of glory, overshadowing the propitiatory. There is not enough time to speak about each of these things.
Yet truly, once such things were placed together, in the first part of the tabernacle, the priests were, indeed, continually entering, so as to carry out the duties of the sacrifices.
But into the second part, once a year, the high priest alone entered, not without blood, which he offered on behalf of the neglectful offenses of himself and of the people.
In this way, the Holy Spirit is signifying that the way to what is most holy was not yet made manifest, not while the first tabernacle was still standing.
And this is a parable for the present time. Accordingly, those gifts and sacrifices that are offered are not able, as concerns the conscience, to make perfect those things that serve only as food and drink,
as well as the various washings and justices of the flesh, which were imposed upon them until the time of correction.
