Theophylact of Ohrid, on Heb 13:10

“We have an altar, whereof they have no power to eat who serve the tabernacle.”

“Having said that there is no need to strictly observe dietary regulations, lest it seem that our way, free from such observance, is worthy of contempt, he says that we too have an observance, only not in regard to these foods, but to the altar, or the bloodless sacrifice of the Life-giving Body. For it is impossible for the high priests of the Old Testament law to partake of this sacrifice as long as they serve the tabernacle, that is, the shadows of the law, which are transient and subject to destruction, or as long as they serve this world, since even the people, as unworthy, did not participate in the sacrifices of the Old Testament law.”
