Hebrews 8:1-7

RHE

NIV

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 majesty in the heavens,
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 A minister of the holies and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord hath pitched, and not man.
2 and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.
3 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that he also should have some thing to offer.
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 then he were on earth, he would not be a priest: seeing that there would be others to offer gifts according to the law.
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 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things. As it was answered to Moses, when he was to finish the tabernacle: See (saith he) that thou make all things according to the pattern which was shewn thee on the mount.
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.”
6 But now he hath obtained a better ministry, by how much also he is a mediator of a better testament which is established on better promises.
6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.
7 For if that former had been faultless, there should not indeed a place have been sought for a second.
7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.
