Hebrews 8 (WEBP)

[1] Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this: we have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
[2] a servant of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord pitched, not man.
[3] For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.
[4] For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law,
[5] who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, “See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.”
[6] But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law.
[7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
[8] For finding fault with them, he said, “Behold, the days are coming”, says the Lord, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
[9] not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they didn’t continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says the Lord.
[10] “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says the Lord: “I will put my laws into their mind; I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
[11] They will not teach every man his fellow citizen and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all will know me, from their least to their greatest.
[12] For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more.”
[13] In that he says, “A new covenant”, he has made the first obsolete. But that which is becoming obsolete and grows aged is near to vanishing away.

[1] Now of the things which we have spoken () [this is] the sum : We have () such an high priest , who is set () on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens ;
[2] A minister of the sanctuary , and of the true tabernacle , which the Lord pitched (), and not man .

Young’s Literal Translation

Hebrews 8 (YLT)

[1] And the sum concerning the things spoken of is: we have such a chief priest, who did sit down at the right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens,
[2] of the holy places a servant, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord did set up, and not man,
[3] for every chief priest to offer both gifts and sacrifices is appointed, whence it is necessary for this one to have also something that he may offer;
[4] for if, indeed, he were upon earth, he would not be a priest-(there being the priests who are offering according to the law, the gifts,
[5] who unto an example and shadow do serve of the heavenly things, as Moses hath been divinely warned, being about to construct the tabernacle, for ‘See (saith He) thou mayest make all things according to the pattern that was shewn to thee in the mount;’)-
[6] and now he hath obtained a more excellent service, how much also of a better covenant is he mediator, which on better promises hath been sanctioned,
[7] for if that first were faultless, a place would not have been sought for a second.
[8] For finding fault, He saith to them, ‘Lo, days come, saith the Lord, and I will complete with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, a new covenant,
[9] not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day of My taking them by their hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt-because they did not remain in My covenant, and I did not regard them, saith the Lord,-
[10] because this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a people;
[11] and they shall not teach each his neighbour, and each his brother, saying, Know thou the Lord, because they shall all know Me from the small one of them unto the great one of them,
[12] because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will remember no more;’-
[13] in the saying ‘new,’ He hath made the first old, and what doth become obsolete and is old is nigh disappearing.
