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 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 have some­what also to of­fer. 4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, see­ing that there are priests that of­fer gifts ac­cord­ing to the law: 5 Who serve unto the ex­am­ple and shad­ow of heav­en­ly things, as Moses was ad­mon­ished of God when he was about to make the taber­na­cle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things ac­cord­ing to the pat­tern shewed 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 should 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 neigh­bour, 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 wax­eth old is ready to van­ish away.
