Study Note

The Levitical regulations for 'meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances' are described as standing only 'until the time of reformation' — the Greek 'diorthōsis' pointing to a decisive divine rectification of the provisional order. Hebrews' typological reading of the Levitical system presents it as pedagogically purposeful but ontologically inadequate — shadow rather than substance (Hebrews 10:1; Colossians 2:17). The 'time of reformation' is fulfilled in Christ's high-priestly offering (verse 11-12), which accomplishes what the repeated washings of the old order could not: inward purification of the conscience (verse 14). The verse is important for understanding the NT's theology of discontinuity-within-continuity: the old order is not abandoned but fulfilled and surpassed.
