Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such aan high priest, bwho is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty cin the heavens; 2 dA minister ||of ethe sanctuary, and of fthe true tabernacle, which the Lord gpitched, and not man. 3 hFor every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have isomewhat also to offer. 4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that ||there are priests that offer hgifts according to the law: 5 Who serve unto jthe example and kshadow of heavenly things, as Moses lwas admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, mSee, nsaith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. 6 But now hath he obtained a omore excellent pministry, by how much also he is qthe mediator of a rbetter ||scovenant, which was testablished upon rbetter promises.

7 For uif that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
