The Epistle to the Hebrews

Berean Study Bible :: World English Bible Catholic

- Kapitel 8 -

1
The 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
and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.
3
And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.
4
Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.
5
The place where they serve 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.”(a)

The New Covenant

(Jeremiah 31:26–40)
6
Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.
7
For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second.
8
But God found fault with the people and said:Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
9
It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them,
10
declares the Lord. For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
11
No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.
12
For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”(b)
13
By speaking of a new covenant,(c) He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

1
Now 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
a servant of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord pitched, not man.
3
For 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
For 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
who 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.”(a)

The New Covenant

(Jeremiah 31:26–40)
6
But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law.
7
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
8
For finding fault with them, he said,Behold,(b) the days are coming”, says 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 out of the land of Egypt; for they didn’t continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says the Lord.
10
For 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
They will not teach every man his fellow citizen (c) and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all will know me, from their least to their greatest.
12
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more.”(d)
13
In that he says, “A new covenant”, he has made the first obsolete. But that which is becoming obsolete and grows aged is near to vanishing away.
