| Hebrews 8: 1 - 5 ( King James Version ) |
| |
| 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; |
| |
| 8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. |
| |
| 8:3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore [it is] of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. |
| |
| 8:4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: |
| |
| 8:5 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 showed to thee in the mount. |

| Hebrews 8: 1-5 ( New International Version ) |
| |
| The point we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Magesty in heaven, |
| |
| v. 2 > twho serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man. |
| |
| v. 3 > Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer. |
| |
| v. 4 > If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already men who offer the gifts prescribed by the law. |
| |
| v. 5 > They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and a shodow of what is in heaven. That is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." |
