Translation commentary on Hebrews 9:21

In the same way: that is, in the way described in verse 19b; other common language translations have simply “also.”

In this verse, the Covenant Tent is the sanctuary as a whole. Leviticus 8.15 speaks of pouring blood on the altar of sacrifice, which stood just outside the sanctuary.

All the things used in worship (see 1 Chr 9.28) includes objects such as those mentioned in verses 4-5.
