Hebrews 8

American Standard Version

1NowG1161 in the thingsG5108 which we are sayingG3004 the chiefG749 pointis this: We have such a highG749 priestG749, who satG2523 downG2523 on the rightG1188 handG1188 of the throneG2362 of the MajestyG3172 in the heavensG3772, 2a ministerG3011 of the sanctuary, and of the trueG228 tabernacleG4633, which the LordG2962 pitched, not manG444. 3For every highG749 priestG749 is appointedG2525 to offerG4374 both giftsG1435 and sacrificesG2378: wherefore it is necessaryG316 that thishighG749 priestG749alsoG2532 have somewhat to offerG4374. 4Now if he wereG1510 on earthG1093, he would not beG1510 a priestG2409 at all, seeing there areG1510 those who offerG4374 the giftsG1435 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551; 5who serveG3000that which isa copy and shadowG4639 of the heavenlyG2032 thingsG3956, evenG2532 as MosesG3475 is warnedG5537of Godwhen he is about to makeG4160 the tabernacleG4633: for, SeeG3708, saith he, that thou makeG4160 all thingsG3956 accordingG2596 to the patternG5179 that was showedG1166 thee in the mountG3735. 6But nowG1161 hath he obtainedG5177 a ministryG3009 the moreG1313 excellentG1313, by so muchG3745 as he isG1510 alsoG2532 the mediatorG3316 of a better covenantG1242, which hath beenG1510 enacted upon better promisesG1860. 7For if that firstG4413 covenant had beenG1510 faultlessG273, then would no placeG5117 have beenG1510 soughtG2212 for a secondG1208. 8For finding faultG3201 with them, he saith,

BeholdG2400, the daysG2250 comeG2064, saith the LordG2962,That I will make a newG2537 covenantG1242 with the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 and with the houseG3624 of JudahG2455;9Not accordingG2596 to the covenantG1242 that I madeG4160 with their fathersG3962 In the dayG2250 that I took them by the handG5495 to lead them forth out of the landG1093 of EgyptG125;For they continued not in my covenantG1242,And I regarded them not, saith the LordG2962.10For this isG1510 the covenantG1242 that I will makeG1303 with the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 After those daysG2250, saith the LordG2962;I will put my lawsG3551 into their mindG1271,And on their heartG2588 alsoG2532 will I write them:And I will beG1510 to them a GodG2316,And they shall beG1510 to me a peopleG2992:11And they shall not teachG1321 every manG1538 his fellow-citizen,And every manG1538 his brotherG80, sayingG3004, KnowG1097 the LordG2962:For all shall knowG1097 me,From the leastG3398 to the greatestG3173 of them.12For I will beG1510 merciful to their iniquitiesG93,And their sinsG266 will I rememberG3403 no moreG2089.

13In that he saith, A newG2537 covenant, he hath made the firstG4413 old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.
