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;
8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the
true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
8:3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of
necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
8:4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that
offer gifts according to the law:
8:5 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.
8:6 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.
8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought
for the second.
8:8 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:
8:9 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.
8:10 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:
8:11 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.
8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities
will I remember no more.
8:13 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.
