| 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. | 3For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. | 3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer. | 3For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. | 3For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; therefore it was necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. |

For God said, Be careful that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain. |
| 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. | 6But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. | 6But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. | 6But 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. | 6But Jesus has now obtained a superior ministry, and to that degree He is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been legally enacted on better promises. |
The New Covenant | 7For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. | 7For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second. | 7For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second. | 7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. | 7For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second one. |

| 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. | 9not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.

I will be their God, and they will be My people. |
| 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. | 11And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. | 11"AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERYONE HIS FELLOW CITIZEN, AND EVERYONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, 'KNOW THE LORD,' FOR ALL WILL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST OF THEM. | 11And 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. | 11And each person will not teach his fellow citizen, and each his brother, saying, "Know the Lord," because they will all know Me, from the least to the greatest of them. |

But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear. | 13In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. | 13By saying, a new covenant, He has declared that the first is old. And what is old and aging is about to disappear. |
