Chapter 9 starts out with a description of the earthly Jewish worship place. The author explains that the old way (blood sacrifices of animals) of making up for sins just wasn't enough to clear a conscience. "Tabernacle" means to gather with. God resides ("tabernacles") with his people.
Christ was a High Priest (and God's Sin) who used his own blood for a once-and-for-all sacrifice for sins. This way works! Christ is our mediator (go between.) Only God's Son could make up for our sins against God.
