who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things ,
as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle .
For He said , "
See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain ."
*
But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry ,
inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant ,
which was established on better promises .
*
For if that first covenant had been faultless ,
then no place would have been sought for a second .
*
Because finding fault with them ,
He says : "
Behold ,
the days are coming ,
says the LORD ,
when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah --
*
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 did not continue in My covenant ,
and I disregarded them ,
says the LORD .
*
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days ,
says the LORD :
I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts ;
and I will be their God ,
and they shall be My people .
*
None of them shall teach his neighbor ,
and none his brother ,
saying , "
Know the LORD ,'
for all shall know Me ,
from the least of them to the greatest of them .
*
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness ,
and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more ."
*
In that He says , "
A new covenant ,"
He has made the first obsolete .
Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away .
