58:008:002 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the
true tabernacle, which
the
Lord pitched, and not man.
58:008:003 For every high priest is ordained to offer
gifts and
sacrifices:
wherefore it is of necessity that this man have
somewhat
also to offer.
58:008:004 For if he were on earth, he should not
be a priest, seeing
that
there are priests that offer gifts according to the
law:
58:008:005 Who serve unto the example and shadow of
heavenly things, as
Moses
was admonished of God when he was about to make the
tabernacle:
for, See, saith he, that thou make all things
according
to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
58:008:006 But now hath he obtained a more excellent
ministry, by how
much
also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which
was
established
upon better promises.
58:008:007 For if that first covenant had been faultless,
then should no
place
have been sought for the second.
58:008:008 For finding fault with them, he saith,
Behold, the days come,
saith
the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the
house
of
Israel and with the house of Judah:
58:008:009 Not according to the covenant that I made
with their fathers
in
the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out
of
the
land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant,
and
I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
58:008:010 For this is the covenant that I will make
with the house of
Israel
after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws
into
their mind, and write them in their hearts: and
I will be
to
them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
58:008:011 And they shall not teach every man his
neighbour, and every
man
his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall
know me,
from
the least to the greatest.
58:008:012 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness,
and their
sins
and their iniquities will I remember no more.
58:008:013 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath
made the first old.
Now
that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish
away.
58:009:001 Then verily the first covenant had also
ordinances of divine
service,
and a worldly sanctuary.
58:009:002 For there was a tabernacle made; the first,
wherein was the
candlestick,
and the table, and the shewbread; which is called
the
sanctuary.
58:009:003 And after the second veil, the tabernacle
which is called the
Holiest
of all;
58:009:004 Which had the golden censer, and the ark
of the covenant
overlaid
round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot
that
had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the
tables of
the
covenant;
