Hebrews 8:1-7

1. 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;

2. 2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

3. 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.

4. 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:

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
