| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8But God found fault with the people and said: "The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear. |
