  • Heb 8:5-9 : 5 These priests serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned when he was about to set up the tabernacle. For God said, 'See that you make everything according to the pattern shown to you on the mountain.' 6 But now Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry, as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been established on better promises. 7 If that first covenant had been without fault, there would have been no need to seek a second one. 8 But finding fault with them, he says: 'Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.' 9 It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors on the day I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and so I turned away from them, declares the Lord. 10 This is the covenant I will establish with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 11 No longer will they teach their neighbors or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful toward their unrighteousness, and I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more. 13 By calling this covenant 'new,' he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
