    1 Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

    2 a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

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

    4 For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;

    5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, "See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."
