    4If he had been on earth he would not have been a priest at all, because there are other priests who make the offerings ordered by the law;

    5Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain.
