  • Heb 8:1-9 : 1 Now of the things we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, and not man. 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; therefore it is necessary that this man also have something to offer. 4 For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are priests that offer gifts according to the law; 5 Who serve as an example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, says He, that you make all things according to the pattern shown to you on the mount. 6 But now has he obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then there would have been no occasion sought for the second. 8 For finding fault with them, He says, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in my covenant, and I did not regard them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:
