    1 Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,

    2 As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, not by man.

    3 Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

    4 If 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;

    5 Being 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.

    6 But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.

    21 And the blood was put on the Tent and all the holy vessels in the same way.

    22 And by the law almost all things are made clean with blood, and without blood there is no forgiveness.

    23 For this cause it was necessary to make the copies of the things in heaven clean with these offerings; but the things themselves are made clean with better offerings than these.

    24 For Christ did not go into a holy place which had been made by men's hands as the copy of the true one; but he went into heaven itself, and now takes his place before the face of God for us.

    25 And he did not have to make an offering of himself again and again, as the high priest goes into the holy place every year with blood which is not his;

    1 For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean.

    3 But year by year there is a memory of sins in those offerings.
