    1Now 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;

    2A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, and not man.

    3For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; therefore it is necessary that this man also have something to offer.

    4For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are priests that offer gifts according to the law;

    5Who 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.
