The structrual unit from 9:1-14 presents another synkrisis/comparison stemming from a μεν δε construction occuring in 9:1-10 and 9:11-14 respectively. The framing sets up the comparison of the earthly sanctuary (άγιον κοσμικον) in 9:1-7 and a heavenly sanctuary (άγιον ούρανικον) in 9:11-12 and the presupposition of a high priest on the day of Yom Kippur offering taken from 9:7. The comparison ends with a קל וחמר or an a-fortiori argument set up in vv. 13-14, which culminates in the apodosis with the expression, "how much more shall the blood of Christ cleanse your conscious from dead works to serve the living God" (v. 14).
The unit from 9:11-14 shows the superiority of the sanctuary that Christ serves in as high priest (heavenly) versus the earthly sanctuary under the first covenant. Then the unit moves forward, secondly, showing the superiority of Christ's blood compared to that of the blood of goats and bulls in terms of its efficaciousness to cleanse our conscious from dead works. This is absolutely one of the New Testament's finest texts on Christ's atoning sacrifice.
