    3Every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.

    4If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.

    5These 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.'

    6But now Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry, as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been established on better promises.

    7If that first covenant had been without fault, there would have been no need to seek a second one.

  • Heb 9:1-9

    1The first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.

    2For a tabernacle was prepared, the first room containing the lampstand, the table, and the presentation of the bread, which is called the Holy Place.

    3Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place.

    4It had the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered with gold on all sides. Inside the ark were a golden jar containing the manna, Aaron's staff that had budded, and the tablets of the covenant.

    5Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. But we cannot now speak about these things in detail.

    6When these things were arranged this way, the priests would regularly enter the first room of the tabernacle to perform their ministry.

    7But only the high priest entered the second room, and only once a year, never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.

    8By this, the Holy Spirit was showing that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.

    9This is a symbol for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered cannot perfect the worshiper in conscience.

    11If perfection could have been achieved through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), why was there still a need for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, rather than one according to the order of Aaron?

    12For when there is a change in the priesthood, there must also be a change in the law.
