Hebrews 8:5 in context
- 3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that this high priest also have somewhat to offer.
- 4Now 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;
- 5who 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.
- 6But 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.
- 7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for a second.
