Hebrews 8
1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the
sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on 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 pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts
and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that
this man have somewhat also to offer.
4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a
priest, seeing that there are priests that offer
gifts according to the law:
5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly
things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was
about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he,
that thou make all things according to the pattern
shewed to thee in the mount.
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent
ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a
better covenant, which was established upon better
promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless,
then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the
days come, saith 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
continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them
not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the
house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I
will put my laws into their mind, and write them in
their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they
shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour,
and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for
all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness,
and their sins and their iniquities will I remember
no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the
first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is
ready to vanish away.
