Dual Panel1Now the main point <2774> of <1909> what we are saying <3004> is this: We have <2192> such <5108> a high priest <749>, one who <3739> sat down <2523> at <1722> the right hand <1188> of the throne <2362> of the Majesty <3172> in <1722> heaven <3772>,
2a minister <3011> in the sanctuary <39> and <2532> the true <228> tabernacle <4633> that <3739> the Lord <2962>, not <3756> man <444>, set up <4078>.
3For <1063> every <3956> high priest <749> is appointed <2525> to offer <4374> both <5037> gifts <1435> and <2532> sacrifices <2378>. So <3606> this <5126> one <3739> too had to have <2192> something <5100> to offer <4374>.
4Now if <1487> he were <1510> on <1909> earth <1093>, he would <1510> not <3761> be <1510> a priest <2409>, since there are <1510> already priests who offer <4374> the gifts <1435> prescribed by <2596> the law <3551>.
5The place where they serve <3000> is a sketch <5262> and <2532> shadow <4639> of the heavenly sanctuary <2032>, just as <2531> Moses <3475> was warned by God <5537> as he was about <3195> to complete <2005> the tabernacle <4633>. For <1063> he says <5346>, “See <3708> that you make <4160> everything <3956> according to <2596> the design <5179> shown <1166> to you <4671> on <1722> the mountain <3735>.”
6But <1161> now <3568> Jesus has obtained <5177> a superior <1313> ministry <3009>, since the covenant <1242> that he <1510> mediates <3316> is also better and is enacted <3549> on <1909> better <2909> promises <1860>.
7For <1063> if <1487> that <1565> first <4413> covenant had been <1510> faultless <273>, no <3756> one <302> would have looked for <2212> a second <1208> one <5117>.
8But <1063> showing <3201> its fault <3201>, God says <3004> to them <846>, “Look <2400>, the days <2250> are coming <2064>, says <3004> the Lord <2962>, when I will complete <4931> a new <2537> covenant <1242> with <1909> the house <3624> of Israel <2474> and <2532> with <1909> the house <3624> of Judah <2448>.
9“It will not <3756> be like <2596> the covenant <1242> that <3739> I made <4160> with their <846> fathers <3962>, on <1722> the day <2250> when <1949> I <3450> took <1949> them <846> by the hand <5495> to lead <1806> them <846> out of <1537> Egypt <125>, because <3754> they <846> did <1696> not <3756> continue <1696> in <1722> my <3450> covenant <1242> and I <2504> had no regard <272> for them <846>, says <3004> the Lord <2962>.
10“For <3754> this <3778> is the covenant <1242> that <3739> I will establish <1303> with the house <3624> of Israel <2474> after <3326> those <1565> days <2250>, says <3004> the Lord <2962>. I will put <1325> my <3450> laws <3551> in <1519> their <846> minds <1271> and <2532> I will inscribe <1924> them <846> on <1909> their <846> hearts <2588>. And <2532> I will be <1510> their <846> God <2316> and <2532> they <846> will be <1510> my <3427> people <2992>.
11“And <2532> there will be <1321> no <3756> <3361> need <1321> at all for each one <1538> to teach <1321> his <846> countryman <4177> or <2532> each one <1538> to teach his <846> brother <80> saying <3004>, ‘Know <1097> the Lord <2962>,’ since <3754> they will <1492> all <3956> know <1492> me <3165>, from <575> the least <3398> to <2193> the greatest <3173>.
12“For <3754> I will be <1510> merciful <2436> toward their <846> evil deeds <93>, and <2532> their <846> sins <266> I will remember <3415> no <3756> <3361> longer <2089>.”
13When he speaks <3004> of a new covenant <2537>, he makes <3822> the first <4413> obsolete <3822>. Now <1161> what is growing obsolete <3822> and <2532> aging <1095> is about to <1451> disappear <854>.
