1Now1161 of1909 the things which we have spoken3004 this is the sum2774: We have2192 such5108 an high priest749, who3739 is set2523 on1722 the right hand1188 of the throne2362 of the Majesty3172 in1722 the heavens3772;
2A minister3011 of the sanctuary39, and2532 of the true228 tabernacle4633, which3739 the Lord2962 pitched4078, and2532 not3756 man444.
3For1063 every3956 high priest749 is ordained2525 to1519 offer4374 gifts1435 and5037 2532 sacrifices2378: wherefore3606 it is of necessity316 that this man5126 have2192 somewhat5100 also2532 to3739 offer4374.
4For1063 if1487 3303 he were2258 on1909 earth1093, he should302 not3761 be2258 a priest2409, seeing that there are5607 priests2409 that offer4374 gifts1435 according2596 to the law3551:
5Who3748 serve3000 unto the example5262 and2532 shadow4639 of heavenly things2032, as2531 Moses3475 was admonished of God5537 when he was about3195 to make2005 the tabernacle4633: for1063, See3708, saith he5346, that thou make4160 all things3956 according to2596 the pattern5179 shewed1166 to thee4671 in1722 the mount3735.
6But1161 now3570 hath he obtained5177 a more excellent1313 ministry3009, by how much3745 also2532 he is2076 the mediator3316 of a better2909 covenant1242, which3748 was established3549 upon1909 better2909 promises1860.
7For1063 if1487 that1565 first4413 covenant had been2258 faultless273, then should302 no3756 place5117 have been sought2212 for the second1208.
8For1063 finding fault3201 with them846, he saith3004, Behold2400, the days2250 come2064, saith3004 the Lord2962, when2532 I will make4931 a new2537 covenant1242 with1909 the house3624 of Israel2474 and2532 with1909 the house3624 of Judah2455:
9Not3756 according to2596 the covenant1242 that3739 I made with4160 their846 fathers3962 in1722 the day2250 when I took1949 them846 by the hand3450 5495 to lead1806 them846 out of1537 the land1093 of Egypt125; because3754 they846 continued1696 not3756 in1722 my3450 covenant1242, and I2504 regarded272 them846 not272, saith3004 the Lord2962.
10For3754 this3778 is the covenant1242 that3739 I will make1303 with the house3624 of Israel2474 after3326 those1565 days2250, saith3004 the Lord2962; I will put1325 my3450 laws3551 into1519 their846 mind1271, and2532 write1924 them846 in1909 their846 hearts2588: and2532 I will be2071 to1519 them846 a God2316, and2532 they846 shall be2071 to1519 me3427 a people2992:
11And2532 they shall1321 not3364 teach1321 every man1538 his846 neighbour4139, and2532 every man1538 his846 brother80, saying3004, Know1097 the Lord2962: for3754 all3956 shall know1492 me3165, from575 the least3398 846 to2193 the greatest3173 846.
12For3754 I will be2071 merciful2436 to their846 unrighteousness93, and2532 their846 sins266 and2532 their846 iniquities458 will I remember3415 no3364 more2089.
13In1722 that he saith3004, A new2537 covenant, he hath made3822 the first4413 old3822. Now1161 that which decayeth3822 and2532 waxeth old1095 is ready1451 to vanish away854.
