ULT HEB Chapter 8

8 Now the point concerning the things being said is this: We have such a high priest who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a servant of the holy place and the true tabernacle that the Lord, not a man, set up. 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, because of which it is necessary also for this one to have something that he might offer. 4 Now if indeed he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are the ones offering the gifts according to the law; 5 who serve an example and a shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses had been warned, being about to complete the tabernacle, for he says, “See that you will make everything according to the type that was shown to you on the mountain.” 6 But now he has obtained a far superior ministry, in as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been legislated on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant would have been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second one. 8 For finding fault with them, he says,

“Behold, days are coming, says the Lord,

when I will complete 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

on the day when I grasped their hand

to lead them out of the land of Egypt,

because they did not continue in my covenant,

and I did not care about them,

says the Lord.

10 For this is the covenant

that I will covenant with the house of Israel

after those days,

says the Lord,

putting my laws into their mind,

and I will write them on their hearts,

and I will be to them as God,

and they will be to me as a people.

11 And they will certainly not teach each one his fellow citizen,

and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’

for they will all know me,

from the least of them to the greatest.

12 For I will be merciful toward their unrighteousness,

and their sins I will certainly not remember any longer.”

13 By saying “new,” he has made the first obsolete, and what is being made obsolete and growing old is near disappearing.
