This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

8:1 Yeshua our high priest

8So here’s the main point in what we’re saying: we have a high priest who sat down in the honoured seat beside the majesty’s throne in the heavens[ref] 2and ministers in the holy places and in the true tent of worship which the master erected, not people. 3Every high priest is appointed to be offering both gifts and sacrifices, and so it’s necessary for this one to also have something to offer. 4If he was here on earth, he wouldn’t even be a priest because there are others offering gifts according to Moses’ law. 5They serve a copy or shadow of the heavenly realms just as Moses was warned when he was about to start making the tent of worship:[ref]

‘Make everything according to the pattern that I showed you on the mountain.’

6But on the contrary, Yeshua has obtained a more special ministry because he’s the mediator of a better agreement which has been legislated with better promises.

7If the first agreement had been faultless, then there wouldn’t have been any need to find a second one to replace it, 8but God blamed the people and said:[ref]

Listen, the master declares that the time is coming when I will make a new agreement with Israel and Yudah,

9not like the agreement that I master with their ancestors

when they held my hand for me to lead them out of Egypt,

because they didn’t stay inside my agreement

and so I didn’t take any notice of them, says the master.’

10So this is the agreement that I make with Israel after those times, says the master,

putting my laws into their minds and writing them onto their hearts,

and I will be their God and they will be my people.

11Then they certainly won’t teach each citizen and their neighbours,

saying ‘Know the master,’

because all of them from the smallest to the greatest will all know me.

12Because I’ll be merciful to them when they disobey,

and certainly I won’t remember their sins any longer.”

13In calling that ‘new’, he’s made the first agreement out-of-date, and what’s out-of-date and getting old is about to disappear.
