Chapter 8 | |
1 | Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; |
2 | A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. |
3 | For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. |
4 | For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: |
5 | Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly
things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the
tabernacle: for,
See, saith he,
that thou make all things according to the
pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
|
6 | But 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. |
7 | For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. |
8 | For finding
fault with them, he saith,
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will
make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
|
9 | |
10 |
1For this is the covenant that I will make with
the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my
2laws into
their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and
they shall be to me a people:
|
11 | |
12 |
1For I will
be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their
ainiquities will
I remember no more.
|
13 |
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which
decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

(a) "iniquities" in this verse is from the Greek word "anomia", meaning "lawless" or "without law."
