Moff HEB Chapter 8

8 The point of all this is, we do have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens, 2 and who officiates in the sanctuary or true tabernacle set up by the Lord and not by man.

3 Now, as every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices, he too must have something to offer. 4 Were he on earth, he would not be a priest at all, for there are priests already to offer the gifts prescribed by Law 5 (men who serve a mere outline and shadow of the heavenly--as Moses was instructed, when he was about to execute the building of the tabernacle: see, God said, that you make everything on the pattern shown you upon the mountain). 6 As it is, however, the divine service he has obtained is superior, owing to the fact that he mediates a superior covenant, enacted with superior promises. 7 For if the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second. 8 Whereas God does find fault with the people of that covenant, when he says:

13 By saying "a new covenant," he antiquates the first. And whatever is antiquated and aged is on the verge of vanishing.
