chapter 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 majesty in the heavens,
2 A minister of the holies, and of the true tabernacle,
which the Lord hath pitched, and not man.
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.
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,
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.
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.
7 For if that former had been faultless, there should
not indeed a place have been sought for a second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith: Behold, the
days shall come, saith the Lord: and I will perfect unto the house of Israel,
and unto the house of Juda, a new testament:
9 Not according to the testament which I made to their
fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land
of Egypt: because they continued not in my testament: and I regarded them not,
saith the Lord.
10 For this is the testament which I will make to the
house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my laws into
their mind, and in their heart will I write them: and I will be their God, and
they shall be my people:
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 of them:
12 Because I will be merciful to their iniquities, and
their sins I will remember no more.
13 Now in saying a new, he hath made the former old.
And that which decayeth and groweth old, is near its end.
