Hebrews 9:7 - Additional Comments

"The second part", the Holy of Holies, or Most High place. Once a year the high priest would burn incense and bring the blood offering and sprinkle it on the ark (Lev 16:1-34), as an offering for the sins of the people. This takes place on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which is on the tenth day of the seventh month.
The high priest stayed in the high priest chamber in the temple court and studied the laws of the Day of Atonement. It was very important the priest not make a mistake. An error could cost him his life and the nation of Israel's atonement. The high priest spoke a word this day that was unspeakable all other times. During the services he voiced the Holy name of God, YHWH, or Yahweh, ten times during the ceremony. When the people heard the Holy Name they fell on the ground in reverence.
