Dual Panel1Now<1161> the main<2774> point<2774> in what has been said<3004> is this: we have<2192> such<5108> a high<749> priest<749>, who<3739> has taken<2523> His seat<2523> at the right<1188> hand<1188> of the throne<2362> of the Majesty<3172> in the heavens<3772>,
2a minister<3011> in the sanctuary<40> and in the true<228> tabernacle<4633>, which<3739> the Lord<2962> pitched<4078>, not man<444>.
3For every<3956> high<749> priest<749> is appointed<2525> to offer<4374> both<5037> gifts<1435> and sacrifices<2378>; so<3606> it is necessary<316> that this<3778> high priest also<2532> have<2192> something<5100> to offer<4374>.
4Now<3767> if<1487> He were on earth<1093>, He would not be a priest<2409> at all<3761>, since there are those<3588> who offer<4374> the gifts<1435> according<2596> to the Law<3551>;
5who<3748> serve<3000> a copy<5262> and shadow<4639> of the heavenly<2032> things<2032>, just<2531> as Moses<3475> was warned<5537> by God when he was about<3195> to erect<2005> the tabernacle<4633>; for, "SEE<3708>," He says<5346>, "THAT YOU MAKE<4160> all<3956> things<3956> ACCORDING<2596> TO THE PATTERN<5179> WHICH WAS SHOWN<1166> YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN<3735>."
6But now<3568> He has obtained<5177> a more<1313> excellent<1313> ministry<3009>, by as much<3745> as He is also<2532> the mediator<3316> of a better<2909> covenant<1242>, which<3748> has been enacted<3549> on better<2909> promises<1860>.
7For if<1487> that first<4413> covenant had been<1510> faultless<273>, there would have been no<3756> occasion<5117> sought<2212> for a second<1208>.
8For finding<3201> fault<3201> with them, He says<3004>, "BEHOLD<2400>, DAYS<2250> ARE COMING<2064>, SAYS<3004> THE LORD<2962>, WHEN<2532> I WILL EFFECT<4931> A NEW<2537> COVENANT<1242> WITH THE HOUSE<3624> OF ISRAEL<2474> AND WITH THE HOUSE<3624> OF JUDAH<2455>;
9NOT LIKE<2596> THE COVENANT<1242> WHICH<3739> I MADE<4160> WITH THEIR FATHERS<3962> ON THE DAY<2250> WHEN I TOOK<1949> THEM BY THE HAND<5495> TO LEAD<1806> THEM OUT OF THE LAND<1093> OF EGYPT<125>; FOR THEY DID NOT CONTINUE<1696> IN MY COVENANT<1242>, AND I DID NOT CARE<272> FOR THEM, SAYS<3004> THE LORD<2962>.
10"FOR THIS<3778> IS THE COVENANT<1242> THAT I WILL MAKE<1303> WITH THE HOUSE<3624> OF ISRAEL<2474> AFTER<3326> THOSE<1565> DAYS<2250>, SAYS<3004> THE LORD<2962>: I WILL PUT<1325> MY LAWS<3551> INTO THEIR MINDS<1271>, AND I WILL WRITE<1924> THEM ON THEIR HEARTS<2588>. AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD<2316>, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE<2992>.
11"AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH<1321> EVERYONE<1538> HIS FELLOW<4177> CITIZEN<4177>, AND EVERYONE<1538> HIS BROTHER<80>, SAYING<3004>, 'KNOW<1097> THE LORD<2962>,' FOR ALL<3956> WILL KNOW<3609> ME, FROM THE LEAST<3398> TO THE GREATEST<3173> OF THEM.
12"FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL<2436> TO THEIR INIQUITIES<93>, AND I WILL REMEMBER<3403> THEIR SINS<266> NO<3756><3361> MORE<2089>."
13When<1722> He said<3004>, "A new<2537> covenant," He has made<3822> the first<4413> obsolete<3822>. But whatever is becoming<3822> obsolete<3822> and growing<1095> old<1095> is ready<1451> to disappear<854>.
