Chapter 8

¹ Now of the things which we have spoken, this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of majesty in the heavens,
² A minister of the holies, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord hath pitched, and not man.
³ For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that he also should have some thing to offer.
⁴ If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest: seeing that there would be others to offer gifts according to the law,
⁵ Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things. As it was answered to Moses, when he was to finish the tabernacle: See (saith he) that thou make all things according to the pattern which was shewn thee on the mount.
⁶ But now he hath obtained a better ministry, by how much also he is a mediator of a better testament, which is established on better promises.
⁷ For if that former had been faultless, there should not indeed a place have been sought for a second.
⁸ For finding fault with them, he saith: Behold, the days shall come, saith the Lord: and I will perfect unto the house of Israel, and unto the house of Juda, a new testament:
⁹ Not according to the testament which I made to their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt: because they continued not in my testament: and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
¹⁰ For this is the testament which I will make to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my laws into their mind, and in their heart will I write them: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:
¹¹ And they shall not teach every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me from the least to the greatest of them:
¹² Because I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more.
¹³ Now in saying a new, he hath made the former old. And that which decayeth and groweth old, is near its end.

Chapter 8

¹ Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
² A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
³ For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man should have somewhat also to offer.
⁴ For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, seeing there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
⁵ Who serve to the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished by God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See (saith he) that thou make all things according to the pattern shown to thee in the mount.
⁶ But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
⁷ For if that first covenant had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for the second.
⁸ For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
⁹ 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 continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
¹⁰ For 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 write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
¹¹ And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
¹² For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
¹³ In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and groweth old is ready to vanish away.

Chapter 8

¹ in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
² servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.
³ every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.
⁴ if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;
⁵ serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, "See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."
⁶ now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law.
⁷ if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
⁸ finding fault with them, he said, "Behold, the days come," says the Lord, "that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
⁹ according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they didn't continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them," says the Lord.
¹⁰ this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
¹¹ will not teach every man his fellow citizen, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.
¹² I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more."
¹³ that he says, "A new covenant," he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.

Chapter 8

¹ Now a summary of the things of which we are speaking [is], We have such a one high priest who has sat down on [the] right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens;
² minister of the holy places and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord has pitched, [and] not man.
³ For every high priest is constituted for the offering both of gifts and sacrifices; whence it is needful that this one also should have something which he may offer.
⁴ If then indeed he were upon earth, he would not even be a priest, there being those who offer the gifts according to the law,
⁵ (who serve the representation and shadow of heavenly things, according as Moses was oracularly told [when] about to make the tabernacle; for See, saith He, that thou make all things according to the pattern which has been shewn to thee in the mountain.)
⁶ But now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises.
⁷ For if that first was faultless, place had not been sought for a second.
⁸ For finding fault, he says to them, Behold, days come, saith the Lord, and I will consummate a new covenant as regards the house of Israel, and as regards the house of Juda;
⁹ not according to the covenant which I made to their fathers in [the] day of my taking their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because *they* did not continue in my covenant, and *I* did not regard them, saith [the] Lord.
¹⁰ Because this [is] the covenant that I will covenant to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their mind, I will write them also upon their hearts; and I will be to them for God, and *they* shall be to me for people.
¹¹ And they shall not teach each his fellow-citizen, and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord; because all shall know me in themselves, from [the] little one [among them] unto [the] great among them.
¹² Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousnesses, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.
¹³ In that he says New, he has made the first old; but that which grows old and aged [is] near disappearing.

⁷ For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for a second.
⁸ For finding fault with them, he saith, 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;
⁹ Not 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.
¹⁰ For 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:
¹¹ And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.
¹² For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more.
¹³ In that he saith, A new [covenant] he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.

Chapter 8

¹ Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,
² As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, not by man.
³ Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.
⁴ If he had been on earth he would not have been a priest at all, because there are other priests who make the offerings ordered by the law;
⁵ Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain.
⁶ But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.
⁷ For if that first agreement had been as good as possible, there would have been no place for a second.
⁸ For, protesting against them, he says, See, the days are coming when I will make a new agreement with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;
⁹ Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand, to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; for they did not keep the agreement with me, and I gave them up, says the Lord.
¹⁰ For this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in their hearts: and I will be their God, and they will be my people:
¹¹ And there will be no need for every man to be teaching his brother, or his neighbour, saying, This is the knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, great and small.
¹² And I will have mercy on their evil-doing, and I will not keep their sins in mind.
¹³ When he says, A new agreement, he has made the first agreement old. But anything which is getting old and past use will not be seen much longer.
