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.Ӡ
[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.

Hebrews 8 (KJVS)
[1] Now G1161 of G1909 the things which we have spoken G3004 (PresPasPtc) [this is] the sum G2774: We have G2192 (PresActInd) such G5108 an high priest G749, who G3739 is set G2523 (AorActInd) on G1722 the right hand G1188 of the throne G2362 of the Majesty G3172 in G1722 the heavens G3772;
[2] A minister G3011 of the sanctuary G39, and G2532 of the true G228 tabernacle G4633, which G3739 the Lord G2962 pitched G4078 (AorActInd), and G2532 not G3756 man G444.
[3] For G1063 every G3956 high priest G749 is ordained G2525 (PresPasInd) to G1519 offer G4374 (PresActInf) gifts G1435 and G5037 G2532 sacrifices G2378: wherefore G3606 [it is] of necessity G316 that this man G5126 have G2192 (PresActInf) somewhat G5100 also G2532 to G3739 offer G4374 (AorActSubj).
[4] For G1063 if G1487 G3303 he were G2258 (ImpfInd) on G1909 earth G1093, he should G302 not G3761 be G2258 (ImpfInd) a priest G2409, seeing that there are G5607 (PresPtc) priests G2409 that offer G4374 (PresActPtc) gifts G1435 according G2596 to the law G3551:
[5] Who G3748 serve G3000 (PresActInd) unto the example G5262 and G2532 shadow G4639 of heavenly things G2032, as G2531 Moses G3475 was admonished of God G5537 (PerfPasInd) when he was about G3195 (PresActPtc) to make G2005 (PresActInf) the tabernacle G4633: for G1063, See G3708 (PresActImpr), saith he G5346 (PresInd), [that] thou make G4160 (AorActSubj) all things G3956 according to G2596 the pattern G5179 shewed G1166 (AorPasPtc) to thee G4671 in G1722 the mount G3735.
[6] But G1161 now G3570 hath he obtained G5177 (PerfActInd) a more excellent G1313 ministry G3009, by how much G3745 also G2532 he is G2076 (PresInd) the mediator G3316 of a better G2909 covenant G1242, which G3748 was established G3549 (PerfPasInd) upon G1909 better G2909 promises G1860.
[7] For G1063 if G1487 that G1565 first G4413 [covenant] had been G2258 (ImpfInd) faultless G273, then should G302 no G3756 place G5117 have been sought G2212 (ImpfPasInd) for the second G1208.
[8] For G1063 finding fault G3201 (PresMidPasDepPtc) with them G846, he saith G3004 (PresActInd), Behold G2400 (Aor2ActImpr), the days G2250 come G2064 (PresMidPasDepInd), saith G3004 (PresActInd) the Lord G2962, when G2532 I will make G4931 (FutActInd) a new G2537 covenant G1242 with G1909 the house G3624 of Israel G2474 and G2532 with G1909 the house G3624 of Judah G2455:
[9] Not G3756 according to G2596 the covenant G1242 that G3739 I made with G4160 (AorActInd) their G846 fathers G3962 in G1722 the day G2250 when I took G1949 (Aor2MidDepPtc) them G846 by the hand G3450 G5495 to lead G1806 (Aor2ActInf) them G846 out of G1537 the land G1093 of Egypt G125; because G3754 they G846 continued G1696 (AorActInd) not G3756 in G1722 my G3450 covenant G1242, and I G2504 regarded G272 them G846 not G272 (AorActInd), saith G3004 (PresActInd) the Lord G2962.
[10] For G3754 this G3778 [is] the covenant G1242 that G3739 I will make G1303 (FutMidDepInd) with the house G3624 of Israel G2474 after G3326 those G1565 days G2250, saith G3004 (PresActInd) the Lord G2962; I will put G1325 (PresActPtc) my G3450 laws G3551 into G1519 their G846 mind G1271, and G2532 write G1924 (FutActInd) them G846 in G1909 their G846 hearts G2588: and G2532 I will be G2071 (FutInd) to G1519 them G846 a God G2316, and G2532 they G846 shall be G2071 (FutInd) to G1519 me G3427 a people G2992:
[11] And G2532 they shall G1321 not G3364 teach G1321 (AorActSubj) every man G1538 his G846 neighbour G4139, and G2532 every man G1538 his G846 brother G80, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), Know G1097 (Aor2ActImpr) the Lord G2962: for G3754 all G3956 shall know G1492 (FutActInd) me G3165, from G575 the least G3398 G846 to G2193 the greatest G3173 G846.
[12] For G3754 I will be G2071 (FutInd) merciful G2436 to their G846 unrighteousness G93, and G2532 their G846 sins G266 and G2532 their G846 iniquities G458 will I remember G3415 (AorPasSubj) no G3364 more G2089.
[13] In G1722 that he saith G3004 (PresActInf), A new G2537 [covenant], he hath made G3822 the first G4413 old G3822 (PerfActInd). Now G1161 that which decayeth G3822 (PresPasPtc) and G2532 waxeth old G1095 (PresActPtc) [is] ready G1451 to vanish away G854.
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.
