Hebrews 8:3-5 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
3
Every high priest1 is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices,2 and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.3
4
If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already men who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.4
5
They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy5 and shadow6 of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned7 when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain."a8
