- Kankanaey: “Because where-Cristo -entered was not the Holiest Room that people had made that was only an illustration of the exact place of God in heaven but rather it was heaven itself. And that’s where he is now, representing us to God.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “Because, as for Cristo, it wasn’t as if where he entered was the Far-from-ordinary Room of that Temple here in the world, which just people made and which was just a picture of the true worshipping-place, but rather really heaven is where- he -entered. And so now, he is there now in the presence of God, standing-up-for us.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
