* Now of the things which we have spoken , [this is ] the sum : We have such a high priest who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens , * [a ] minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle , which the Lord pitched , and not man . * For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices ; therefore , [it is ] also necessary that this one have something to offer . * For if he were on earth , he should not even be a priest , being present still the other priests that offer gifts according to the law , * (who serve as an example and shadow of the 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 showed unto thee in the mount ); * but now a more excellent ministry is his , in that he is the mediator of a better testament , which was established upon better promises . * For if that first [covenant ] had been faultless , then no place should have been sought for the second . * For finding fault with them , he said , Behold , the days come , saith the Lord , when I will make a new testament with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah , * not according to the testament 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 did not continue in my testament , and I regarded them not , saith the Lord . * For this [is ] the testament that I will ordain to the house of Israel after those days , saith the Lord : I will give my laws into their soul and write them upon their hearts , and I will be to them a God , and they shall be to me a people : * and no one shall teach his neighbour nor anyone his brother , saying , Know the Lord , for all shall know me , from the least to the greatest . * For I will reconcile their iniquities and their sins , and their iniquities I will remember no more . * In that he says , New , he has made the first old . Now that which decays and waxes old [is ] ready to vanish away .:
