{Even the first covenant} (kai h(8820)pr(9374)(885c)). Kai (even) is
doubtful. No word for covenant with pr(9374)e (cf. 8:7 ). {Had}
(eiche). Imperfect active, used to have. {Ordinances}
(dikai(936d)ata). Regulations (from dikaio(935c)) as in Lu 1:6 Ro
5:16 . {Of divine service} (latreias). No word for "divine,"
though worship is meant as in Ro 9:4 Php 3:3 . Genitive case.
{And its sanctuary, a sanctuary of this world} ( o te hagion
kosmikon). By o hagion the author describes the whole
sanctuary ( Ex 36:3 Nu 3:38 ) like (936e) hagi(936e) in 8:2 .
Kosmikon is a late adjective (Aristotle, Plutarch) from
kosmos, relating to this world, like epi g(8873) (upon earth) of
8:4 . It is in the predicate position, not attributive.
