1 Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man. 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer. 4 For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; 5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, "See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain." 6 But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 For finding fault with them, he said,
"Behold, the days come," says the Lord,
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers,
For they didn't continue in my covenant,
10 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel.
"I will put my laws into their mind,
I will be to them a God,
11 They will not teach every man his
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness.
13 In that he says, "A new covenant," he has made the first old. But that
which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.
