The Holy Place and Most Holy Place were the inner rooms of Israel’s tabernacle (and later temple), where priests served and the high priest entered God’s immediate covenantal presence once yearly with blood. Hebrews 9 uses their restricted access to show that Christ’s sacrificial death secures the promised eternal inheritance and true access to God.
