John Calvin Commentary Hebrews 9:6

"Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services;" — Hebrews 9:6 (ASV)

Now, when these things were thus ordained, etc. Omitting other matters, he undertakes to address the chief point in dispute: he says that the priests who performed sacred rites were accustomed to enter the first tabernacle daily, but that the high priest entered the Holy of Holies only once a year with the appointed sacrifice. From this, he concludes that while the tabernacle under the Law was standing, the sanctuary was closed. Only through its removal could the way to the kingdom of God be opened for us. We see that the very form of the ancient tabernacle reminded the Jews that they were to look for something else. Then they acted foolishly, those who, by retaining the shadows of the Law, willfully obstructed their own way.

He mentions πρώτην σκηνὴν (the first tabernacle) in Hebrews 9:2, in a different sense from what it means here. Here, it means the first sanctuary, but there it means the whole tabernacle. For he contrasts it with the spiritual sanctuary of Christ, which he will mention shortly. He contends that this tabernacle fell for our great benefit, because through its fall, a more direct access to God has been obtained for us.
