NASB2020 ▾HebrewsHebrews 81Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,2a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, not man.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.4Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law;5who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, “S ee ,” He says, “ that you make all things by the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain .”6But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, to the extent that He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.7For if that first covenant had been free of fault, no circumstances would have been sought for a second.8For in finding fault with the people, He says, “B ehold , days are coming , says the L ord , W hen I will bring about a new covenant W ith the house of I srael and the house of J udah ,9N ot like the covenant which I made with their fathers O n the day I took them by the hand T o bring them out of the land of E gypt ; F or they did not continue in M y covenant , A nd I did not care about them , says the L ord .10“F or this is the covenant which I will make with the house of I srael A fter those days , declares the L ord : I will put M y laws into their minds , A nd write them on their hearts . A nd I will be their G od , A nd they shall be M y people .11“A nd they will not teach , each one his fellow citizen , A nd each one his brother , saying , ‘K now the L ord ,’ F or they will all know M e , F rom the least to the greatest of them .12“F or I will be merciful toward their wrongdoings , A nd their sins I will no longer remember .”13When He said, “A new covenant, ” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is about to disappear.Hebrews 7Hebrews 9
