Nowofthe things which we have spoken this is the sum: We havesucha high priest, whois setonthe right handof thethroneof theMajestyintheheavens; A ministerof thesanctuary, andof thetruetabernacle, whichtheLordpitched, andnotman. Foreveryhigh priestis ordainedto offergiftsandsacrifices: wherefore it is of necessitythat this manhavesomewhatalsoto offer. Forifhewereonearth, he should notbea priest, seeing that there areprieststhat offergiftsaccordingto thelaw: Whoserveunto the exampleandshadowof heavenly things, asMoseswas admonished of Godwhen he was aboutto makethetabernacle: for, See, saithhe, that thou makeall thingsaccordingto thepatternshowedto theeinthemount. Butnowhath he obtaineda more excellentministry, by how muchalsohe isthe mediatorof a bettercovenant, whichwas establisheduponbetterpromises. Forifthatfirst covenant had beenfaultless, then should noplacehave been soughtfor the second. Forfinding faultwith them, he saith, Behold, the dayscome, saiththe Lord, whenI will makea newcovenantwiththehouseof Israelandwiththehouseof Judah: Notaccordingto thecovenantthatI madewith theirfathersinthe daywhen Itookthemby thehandto leadthemout ofthe landof Egypt; becausetheycontinuednotinmycovenant, and Iregarded them not, saiththe Lord. Forthis is thecovenantthatI will makewith thehouseof Israelafterthosedays, saiththe Lord; I will putmylawsintotheirmind, andwritethemintheirhearts: andI will beto themaGod, andtheyshall beto meapeople: Andthey shall notteachevery manhisneighbor, andevery manhisbrother, saying, KnowtheLord: forallshall knowme, fromthe leasttothe greatest. ForI will bemercifulto theirunrighteousness, andtheirsinsandtheiriniquitieswill I rememberno more. In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Nowthat which decayethandwaxeth old is ready to vanish away.
