You can tell that this is true, because God revealed it to Moses when Moses was going to have the Israelites construct the sacred tent.

T4T The Jewish priests perform rituals which are only a model [DOU] of what Christ would do in heaven [MTY].

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ὑποδείγματι καὶ σκιᾷ

˱for˲_/a/_copy and shadow

Here, the words example and shadow function together to describe something that is based on something else. It is probable that example emphasizes the way that the “copy” illustrates what the “original” is like, while shadow emphasizes how the “copy” is not as real or good as the “original.” If you do not have two words for these categories, you could use a single word or phrase to refer to something that is based on something else. Alternate translation: “a copy” or “an imperfect version”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῶν ἐπουρανίων

˱of˲_the heavenly_‹realms›

Here, the phrase heavenly things refers specifically to the heavenly sanctuary, “the true tabernacle” that the author referred to in 8:2. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this idea more explicitly. Alternate translation: “of the heavenly tabernacle”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κεχρημάτισται Μωϋσῆς, μέλλων

/has_been/_warned Moses going

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The author uses the passive form here to focus on Moses who was warned rather than on the person doing the warning. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that God did it. Alternate translation: “God warned Moses when he was about”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

μέλλων

going

Here, the phrase being about introduces something that happened at the same time as Moses was warned. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this relationship clearer. Alternate translation: “at the time when he was about”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μέλλων ἐπιτελεῖν τὴν σκηνήν

going /to_be/_accomplishing the tabernacle

Here the author refers to how God revealed to Moses what the tabernacle, the sanctuary that the Israelites used when they were in the desert, should be like. Moses then told the Israelites how to complete the tabernacle. You can read the instructions that God gave to Moses about the tabernacle and its service in Exodus 25–30. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this idea more explicitly. Alternate translation: “when he and the Israelites were going to construct the tabernacle”

Note 6 topic: writing-quotations

γάρ φησίν

for ˱he˲_/is/_saying

Here the author quotes from the Old Testament Scriptures. He does not introduce the words as a quotation but instead introduces them as something that God said to Moses. However, the audience would have understood that these were words from the Old Testament, specifically from Exodus 25:40. If your readers would not know that this quotation is from the Old Testament, you could include a footnote or use some other form to identify it. Alternate translation: “as God says”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὅρα & ποιήσεις & σοι

/be/_seeing & ˱you˲_/will_be/_making & ˱to˲_you

Because God is speaking to one person (Moses), you is singular here.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὅρα

/be/_seeing

God was using the phrase See that to call attention to the command that followed. God did not mean that Moses was literally supposed to See with his eyes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that draws attention to a command. Alternate translation: “Be sure that”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάντα

all_‹things›

Here, the word everything identifies all the features of the tabernacle. It does not refer to everything that exists or everything that Moses did. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it clear that the word everything refers to everything about the tabernacle. Alternate translation: “the whole tabernacle”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸν δειχθέντα

the ¬which /having_been/_shown

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The author uses the passive form here to focus on the type that was shown rather than on the person doing the showing. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that God did it. Alternate translation: “that I showed”

Note 11 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν τῷ ὄρει

in the mountain

Here, the word mountain refers to Mount Sinai. Moses climbed up this mountain to meet God and receive God’s promises and commands for the Israelites. You can read about Moses climbing up Mount Sinai in Exodus 19 and Exodus 24. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “on Mount Sinai” or “when I spoke to you on Mount Sinai”
