Hebrews 8:2-8
8:2 a minister in the sanctuary and the true tabernacle that the Lord, not man, set up.
8:3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. So this one too had to have something to offer.
8:4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer
the gifts prescribed by the law.
8:5 The place where they serve is
a sketch
and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, just as Moses was warned by God as he was about to complete the tabernacle. For he says, “
See that you make everything according to the design shown to you on the mountain.”
8:6 But
now Jesus
has obtained a superior ministry, since
the covenant that he mediates is also better and is enacted
on better promises.
8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, no one would have looked for a second one.
8:8 But showing its fault, God says to them,
“Look, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will complete a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
