Hebrews 8:3-6
3For every 1high priest is appointed 2to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.
4Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who 3offer the gifts according to the Law;
5who serve 4a copy and 5shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses 6was 7warned by God when he was about to erect the 8tabernacle; for, “9See,” He says, “that you make all things according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.”
6But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the 10mediator of 11a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.
