8:1 Now a summation upon the things which we are saying is this: we have such a high-priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

8:2 a minister* of the holy-places and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched and not man.

8:3 For* every high-priest is designated, *that* he should offer both gifts and sacrifices; hence it is necessary for this one to also have something that he should offer.

8:4 Now if he indeed was upon the earth, he would not even be a priest, being that the priests who offer the gifts according to the law;

8:5 who gives-divine service to what is a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just-as Moses had been divinely-warned while being about to complete the tabernacle; for* he says, You will be making* all things according to the pattern which was shown to you in the mountain. {Exo 25:40}

8:6 But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry*, inasmuch as he is also the intermediary of a better covenant*, which has been instituted upon better promises.


8:7 For* if that first covenant * was blameless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

8:8 For* finding-fault with them, he says, 'Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, That I will complete a new covenant* upon the house of Israel and upon 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 my hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt, because they did not remain in my covenant* and I neglected them, says the Lord.

8:10 Because this one is the covenant* which I will covenant* with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord. I will be giving my laws into their mind and I will be writing them upon their hearts. And I will be a God to them and they will be covenanted into a people for me;

8:11 and they may never* need to teach, saying, Know the Lord; to each one his fellow-citizen and each one his brother, because all will know me, from the little insofar as their great ones.

8:12 Because I will be lenient to their unrighteousness; I may never* remember their lawlessness and their sins anymore. ' {Jer 31:31-34}

8:13 In the saying, a new covenant *, the first has become-obsolete. But what becomes-obsolete and is aged, it is near to disappearing.
