1Now to sum upwe have an ideal High Priest such as has been described above. He has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of Heavenly majesty.
2He is the minister of the sanctuary and of the real tabernaclethat is the one which the Lord has set up and not man.
3Every High Priest is appointed to offer gifts and make sacrifices. It follows, therefore, that in these holy places this man must have something to offer.
4Now if he were still living on earth he would not be a priest at all, for there are already priests offering the gifts prescribed by the Law.
5These men are serving what is only a pattern or reproduction of things that exist in Heaven. Moses, you will remember, when he was going to construct the tabernacle, was cautioned by God in these words: See that thou make all things according to the pattern that was showed thee in the mount.
6But our High Priest has been given a far higher ministry for he mediates a higher agreement, which in turn rests upon higher promises.
7If the first agreement had proved satisfactory there would have been no need to look for a second.
8Actually, however, God does show himself dissatisfied for he says: Behold the days come, saith the Lord, That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
9Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they continued not in my covenant, And I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10For 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 on their heart also will I write them: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people:
11And they shall not teach every man his fellowcitizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.
12For I will be merciful to their iniquities. And their sins will I remember no more.
13The mere fact that God speaks of a new covenant or agreement makes the old one out of date. And when a thing grows weak and out of date it is obviously soon going to disappear.
