Hebrews 9:9-14. Chiastic structure copied from Chiastic Analysis
of the Epistle to the Hebrews, arranged by John Bligh (Athenaeum
Press, Heythrop College, Oxon, England: 1966). Bligh's work is almost entirely
in Greek. For website purposes, I have used unaccented Greek from the Unbound Bible,
Nestle-Aland 26,
at unbound.biola.edu
I have added English from the New American Standard Bible, revised.
