Exegesis
The negated present indicative ouk echousin exousian {οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἐξουσίαν | ouk échousin exousían} denies authority to the subject identified by the substantival participle hoi te skene latreuontes {οἱ τῇ σκηνῇ λατρεύοντες | hoi tē skēnē}, where hoi substantivizes latreuontes and the dative phrase te skene marks the sphere of service. This contrast underscores that “we” possess the new covenant altar while the old tabernacle ministers lack access, emphasizing the theological shift in worship.
In context — Hebrews 13:10
We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.
