The Epistle to the Hebrews

Chapter 8

1

 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 

 


2

 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 

 


3

 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man should have somewhat also to offer. 

 


4

 For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, seeing there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: 

 


5

 Who serve to the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished by God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See (saith he) that thou make all things according to the pattern shown to thee in the mount. 

 


6

 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 

 


7

 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for the second. 

 


8

 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 

 


9

 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 

 


10

 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 

 


11

 And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 

 


12

 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 

 


13

 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and groweth old is ready to vanish away.
