- (The) 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 ,
(and who) ministers in the sanctuary and - - true tabernacle - set up by the Lord , not by man.
And since every high priest is appointed to - offer both gifts and sacrifices , (it was) necessary (for) this One also to have something - to offer.
Now ... if He were on earth , vvv vvv He would not be a priest , since there are already (priests) who offer - gifts according to (the) law.
(The place where) they serve (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.”
Now , however , (Jesus) has received a much more excellent ministry , just as the covenant vvv He mediates is better (and) is founded on better promises.
For if that - first ( covenant ) had been without fault , no place vvv would have been sought for a second.
(But) (God) found fault with (the people) (and) said : “ Behold , (the) days are coming , declares (the) Lord , (when) I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
(It will) not be like the covenant - I made with their fathers vvv when I took them by the hand to lead them out of (the) land of Egypt , because they vvv did not abide by My - covenant , and I disregarded them , declares (the) Lord.
For this (is) the covenant - I will make with the house of Israel after those - days , declares (the) Lord. I will put My laws in their - minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be vvv their God , and they will be My ... people.
- No longer ... {will} each one teach his - neighbor (or) - his - brother , saying , ‘ Know the Lord ,’ because vvv they will all know Me , from (the) least of them to (the) greatest.
For I will vvv forgive their iniquities and will remember their - sins no ... more.”
By - speaking of a new (covenant) , He has made the first one {obsolete} ; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
