| Heb. 8:1 |
Now in the things which are being said the chief 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, |
| Heb. 8:2 |
A Minister of the holy places, even of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man. |
| Heb. 8:3 |
For every high priest is established for the offering of both gifts and sacrifices; hence it is necessary that this One also have something which He may offer. |
| Heb. 8:4 |
Now then if He were on earth, He would not be a Priest at all, there being those who offer the gifts according to the law, |
| Heb. 8:5 |
Who serve the example and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to complete the tabernacle; for, "See," He said, "that you make all things according to the pattern that was shown to you in the mountain." |
| Heb. 8:6 |
But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry inasmuch as He is also the Mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted upon better promises. |
| Heb. 8:7 |
For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second. |
| Heb. 8:8 |
For finding fault with them He says, "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, and I will consummate a new covenant upon the house of Israel and upon the house of Judah, |
| Heb. 8:9 |
Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. |
| Heb. 8:10 |
For this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will impart My laws into their mind, and on their hearts I will inscribe them; and I will be God to them, and they will be a people to Me. |
| Heb. 8:11 |
And they shall by no means each teach his fellow citizen and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for all will know Me from the little one to the great one among them. |
| Heb. 8:12 |
For I will be propitious to their unrighteousnesses, and their sins I shall by no means remember anymore." |
| Heb. 8:13 |
In saying, A new [covenant,] He has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and growing decrepit is near to disappearing. |
