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 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws 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 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

¹² For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities 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.

¹ Now ^G1161 of ^G1909 the things which we have spoken ^G3004 this is the sum: ^G2774 We have ^G2192 such ^G5108 an high priest, ^G749 who ^G3739 is set ^G2523 on ^G1722 the right hand ^G1188 of the throne ^G2362 of the Majesty ^G3172 in ^G1722 the heavens; ^G3772

² A minister ^G3011 of the sanctuary, ^G39 and ^G2532 of the true ^G228 tabernacle, ^G4633 which ^G3739 the Lord ^G2962 pitched, ^G4078 and ^G2532 not ^G3756 man. ^G444

³ For ^G1063 every ^G3956 high priest ^G749 is ordained ^G2525 to ^G1519 offer ^G4374 gifts ^G1435 and ^{G5037 G2532} sacrifices: ^G2378 wherefore ^G3606 it is of necessity ^G316 that this man ^G5126 have ^G2192 somewhat ^G5100 also ^G2532 to ^G3739 offer. ^G4374

⁴ For ^G1063 if ^{G1487 G3303} he were ^G2258 on ^G1909 earth, ^G1093 he should ^G302 not ^G3761 be ^G2258 a priest, ^G2409 seeing that there are ^G5607 priests ^G2409 that offer ^G4374 gifts ^G1435 according ^G2596 to the law: ^G3551

⁵ Who ^G3748 serve ^G3000 unto the example ^G5262 and ^G2532 shadow ^G4639 of heavenly things, ^G2032 as ^G2531 Moses ^G3475 was admonished of God ^G5537 when he was about ^G3195 to make ^G2005 the tabernacle: ^G4633 for, ^G1063 See, ^G3708 saith he, ^G5346 that thou make ^G4160 all things ^G3956 according to ^G2596 the pattern ^G5179 shewed ^G1166 to thee ^G4671 in ^G1722 the mount. ^G3735

⁶ But ^G1161 now ^G3570 hath he obtained ^G5177 a more excellent ^G1313 ministry, ^G3009 by how much ^G3745 also ^G2532 he is ^G2076 the mediator ^G3316 of a better ^G2909 covenant, ^G1242 which ^G3748 was established ^G3549 upon ^G1909 better ^G2909 promises. ^G1860

⁷ For ^G1063 if ^G1487 that ^G1565 first ^G4413 covenant had been ^G2258 faultless, ^G273 then should ^G302 no ^G3756 place ^G5117 have been sought ^G2212 for the second. ^G1208

⁸ For ^G1063 finding fault ^G3201 with them, ^G846 he saith, ^G3004 Behold, ^G2400 the days ^G2250 come, ^G2064 saith ^G3004 the Lord, ^G2962 when ^G2532 I will make ^G4931 a new ^G2537 covenant ^G1242 with ^G1909 the house ^G3624 of Israel ^G2474 and ^G2532 with ^G1909 the house ^G3624 of Judah: ^G2455

⁹ Not ^G3756 according to ^G2596 the covenant ^G1242 that ^G3739 I made with ^G4160 their ^G846 fathers ^G3962 in ^G1722 the day ^G2250 when I took ^G1949 them ^G846 by the hand ^{G3450 G5495} to lead ^G1806 them ^G846 out of ^G1537 the land ^G1093 of Egypt; ^G125 because ^G3754 they ^G846 continued ^G1696 not ^G3756 in ^G1722 my ^G3450 covenant, ^G1242 and I ^G2504 regarded ^G272 them ^G846 not, ^G272 saith ^G3004 the Lord. ^G2962

¹⁰ For ^G3754 this ^G3778 is the covenant ^G1242 that ^G3739 I will make ^G1303 with the house ^G3624 of Israel ^G2474 after ^G3326 those ^G1565 days, ^G2250 saith ^G3004 the Lord; ^G2962 I will put ^G1325 my ^G3450 laws ^G3551 into ^G1519 their ^G846 mind, ^G1271 and ^G2532 write ^G1924 them ^G846 in ^G1909 their ^G846 hearts: ^G2588 and ^G2532 I will be ^G2071 to ^G1519 them ^G846 a God, ^G2316 and ^G2532 they ^G846 shall be ^G2071 to ^G1519 me ^G3427 a people: ^G2992

¹¹ And ^G2532 they shall ^G1321 not ^G3364 teach ^G1321 every man ^G1538 his ^G846 neighbour, ^G4139 and ^G2532 every man ^G1538 his ^G846 brother, ^G80 saying, ^G3004 Know ^G1097 the Lord: ^G2962 for ^G3754 all ^G3956 shall know ^G1492 me, ^G3165 from ^G575 the least ^{G3398 G846} to ^G2193 the greatest. ^{G3173 G846}

¹² For ^G3754 I will be ^G2071 merciful ^G2436 to their ^G846 unrighteousness, ^G93 and ^G2532 their ^G846 sins ^G266 and ^G2532 their ^G846 iniquities ^G458 will I remember ^G3415 no ^G3364 more. ^G2089

¹³ In ^G1722 that he saith, ^G3004 A new ^G2537 covenant, he hath made ^G3822 the first ^G4413 old. ^G3822 Now ^G1161 that which decayeth ^G3822 and ^G2532 waxeth old ^G1095 is ready ^G1451 to vanish away. ^G854

¹ Now in the things which we are saying the chief point `is this': We have such a high priest, who sat down 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, not man.

³ For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that this `high priest' also have somewhat to offer.

⁴ Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are those who offer the gifts according to the law;

⁵ who serve `that which is' a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses is warned `of God' when he is about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern that was showed thee in the mount.

⁶ But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.

⁷ For if that first `covenant' had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for a second.

⁸ For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, That I will make 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 In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they continued not in my covenant, And I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, And on their heart also will I write them: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people:

¹¹ And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.

¹² For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more.

¹³ In that he saith, A new `covenant' he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.

---

¹ And the sum concerning the things spoken of `is': we have such a chief priest, who did sit down at the right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens,

² of the holy places a servant, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord did set up, and not man,

³ for every chief priest to offer both gifts and sacrifices is appointed, whence `it is' necessary for this one to have also something that he may offer;

⁴ for if, indeed, he were upon earth, he would not be a priest -- (there being the priests who are offering according to the law, the gifts,

⁵ who unto an example and shadow do serve of the heavenly things, as Moses hath been divinely warned, being about to construct the tabernacle, for `See (saith He) thou mayest make all things according to the pattern that was shewn to thee in the mount;') --

⁶ and now he hath obtained a more excellent service, how much also of a better covenant is he mediator, which on better promises hath been sanctioned,

⁷ for if that first were faultless, a place would not have been sought for a second.

⁸ For finding fault, He saith to them, `Lo, days come, saith the Lord, and I will complete with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, a new covenant,

⁹ not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day of My taking `them' by their hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt -- because they did not remain in My covenant, and I did not regard them, saith the Lord, --

¹⁰ because this `is' the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a people;

¹¹ and they shall not teach each his neighbour, and each his brother, saying, Know thou the Lord, because they shall all know Me from the small one of them unto the great one of them,

¹² because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will remember no more;' --

¹³ in the saying `new,' He hath made the first old, and what doth become obsolete and is old `is' nigh disappearing.

---

¹ Now a summary of the things of which we are speaking [is], We have such a one high priest who has sat down on [the] right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens;

² minister of the holy places and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord has pitched, [and] not man.

³ For every high priest is constituted for the offering both of gifts and sacrifices; whence it is needful that this one also should have something which he may offer.

⁴ If then indeed he were upon earth, he would not even be a priest, there being those who offer the gifts according to the law,

⁵ (who serve the representation and shadow of heavenly things, according as Moses was oracularly told [when] about to make the tabernacle; for See, saith He, that thou make all things according to the pattern which has been shewn to thee in the mountain.)

⁶ But now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises.

⁷ For if that first was faultless, place had not been sought for a second.

⁸ For finding fault, he says to them, Behold, days come, saith the Lord, and I will consummate a new covenant as regards the house of Israel, and as regards the house of Juda;

⁹ not according to the covenant which I made to their fathers in [the] day of my taking their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because *they* did not continue in my covenant, and *I* did not regard them, saith [the] Lord.

¹⁰ Because this [is] the covenant that I will covenant to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their mind, I will write them also upon their hearts; and I will be to them for God, and *they* shall be to me for people.

¹¹ And they shall not teach each his fellow-citizen, and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord; because all shall know me in themselves, from [the] little one [among them] unto [the] great among them.

¹² Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousnesses, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.

¹³ In that he says New, he has made the first old; but that which grows old and aged [is] near disappearing.

---

¹ Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down 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, not man.

³ For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

⁴ For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;

⁵ who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, "See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."

⁶ But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

⁷ For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

⁸ For finding fault with them, he said, "Behold, the days come," says the Lord, "That I will make 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, In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; For they didn't continue in my covenant, And I disregarded them," says the Lord.

¹⁰ "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be to them a God, And they will be to me a people.

¹¹ They will not teach every man his fellow citizen,{TR reads "neighbor" instead of "fellow citizen"} Every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' For all will know me, From the least of them to the greatest of them.

¹² For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more."

¹³ In that he says, "A new covenant," he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.

---

¹ Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,

² As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, not by man.

³ Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

⁴ If he had been on earth he would not have been a priest at all, because there are other priests who make the offerings ordered by the law;

⁵ Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain.

⁶ But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.

⁷ For if that first agreement had been as good as possible, there would have been no place for a second.

⁸ For, protesting against them, he says, See, the days are coming when I will make a new agreement with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;

⁹ Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand, to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; for they did not keep the agreement with me, and I gave them up, says the Lord.

¹⁰ For this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in their hearts: and I will be their God, and they will be my people:

¹¹ And there will be no need for every man to be teaching his brother, or his neighbour, saying, This is the knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, great and small.

¹² And I will have mercy on their evil-doing, and I will not keep their sins in mind.

¹³ When he says, A new agreement, he has made the first agreement old. But anything which is getting old and past use will not be seen much longer.
