Hebrews 9:7

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
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:
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

But only the high priest could enter that inner room, and he could only go in once a year. He never went empty-handed — he always brought blood to offer as a sacrifice, both for his own mistakes and for all the ways the people had messed up.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Even the holiest person needed forgiveness and had to bring it for everyone else too.
