When Jesus came, he came in terms the Jews would understand and identify with; consider the comparison to Abraham and Isaac. In Hebrews 9, the author is describing the tabernacle and the Most Holy Place in the temple and the fact that the Ark used to be there. It is interesting that the ark had been gone since the 6th century BC and the high priests still maintained the space. The old rules are superseded by the commands of Christ.
