What blood did Christ enter the holy place with?

Christ entered the holy place not by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood. He entered once into the heavenly holy place, bringing the divine shed blood from His own crucifixion, and thereby obtained eternal redemption for us.

Les explains that the tabernacle not made with men's hands is not on this earth or in this creation, but in heaven itself, into the very throne room. In ancient Israel, the high priest went in and sprinkled blood on the mercy seat. Christ did the same, but instead of going into the tabernacle of Israel or Solomon's temple, He went into the tabernacle in heaven. Verse 12 says He entered not by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood, once into the holy place. The back room behind the veil was called the holy of holies, the holy place. Christ did not go into the earthly one; He went into the one in heaven as our high priest, having brought the divine shed blood from His own crucifixion, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

Hebrews 9:12

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
