HEBREWS ยท Chapter 8
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,
says he, that you make all things according to the pattern showed to you
in the mount.
8:6 But now has 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 says, Behold, the days come, says
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, 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, 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 says, A new covenant, he has made the first old. Now
that which decays and waxs old is ready to vanish away.
