The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 8
{8:1} 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, {8:2} a servant of the
sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not
man. {8:3} 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. {8:4} 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; {8:5} 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."[1] {8:6} But now
he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also
the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been
given as law. {8:7} For if that first covenant had been faultless,
then no place would have been sought for a second. {8:8} For finding
fault with them, he said,
"Behold, the days come," says the Lord,
"that 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 that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land
of Egypt;
for they didn't continue in my covenant,
and I disregarded them," says the Lord.
{8:10} "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of
Israel.
After those days," says the Lord;
"I will put my laws into their mind,
I will also write them on their heart.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
{8:11} They will not teach every man his [2>]fellow citizen,[<2]
and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,'
for all will know me,
from the least of them to the greatest of them.
{8:12} For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness.
I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more."[3]
{8:13} In that he says, "A new covenant," he has made the first old.
But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing
away.
