Hebrews 8:1 In-Context
1
Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
2
and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.
3
Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.
4
If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.
5
They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”
