Iḇ`rim (Hebrews) 8
8
1Now the summary of what we are saying is: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Greatness in the heavens,
2and who serves in the set-apart place and of the true Tent, which יהוה set up, and not man.
3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and slaughters. So it was also necessary for this One to have somewhat to offer.
4For if indeed He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the Torah,
5who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly, as Mosheh was warned when he was about to make the Tent. For He said, “See that you make all according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”# Exo. 25:40
6But now He has obtained a more excellent service, inasmuch as He is also Mediator#Messiah is called the Mediator of the New (Renewed) Covenant in Hebrews, in three places: Heb. 8:6; Heb. 9:15 and in Heb. 12:24 of a better covenant, which was constituted on better promises.
7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
8For finding fault with them, He says, “See, the days are coming,” says יהוה, “when I shall conclude with the house of Yisra’ĕl and with the house of Yehuḏah a renewed covenant,
9not 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 Mitsrayim, because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them,” says יהוה.
10“Because this is the covenant that I shall make with the house of Yisra’ĕl after those days, says יהוה, giving My laws in their mind, and I shall write them on their hearts, and I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.
11“And they shall by no means teach each one his neighbour, and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know יהוה,’ because they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.
12“Because I shall forgive their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I shall no longer remember.”# Jer. 31:31-34#See also Heb. 10:16, 17
13By saying, ‘renewed,’ He has made the first old. Now what becomes old and growing aged is near disappearing.

Hebrews 8

Jesus our High Priest
1 #
Ps 110.1
The whole point of what we are saying is that we have such a High Priest, who sits at the right of the throne of the Divine Majesty in heaven. 2He serves as High Priest in the Most Holy Place, that is, in the real tent which was put up by the Lord, not by human hands.
3Every High Priest is appointed to present offerings and animal sacrifices to God, and so our High Priest must also have something to offer. 4If he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer the gifts required by the Jewish Law. 5#Ex 25.40The work they do as priests is really only a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven. It is the same as it was with Moses. When he was about to build the Sacred Tent, God said to him, “Be sure to make everything according to the pattern you were shown on the mountain.” 6But now, Jesus has been given priestly work which is superior to theirs, just as the covenant which he arranged between God and his people is a better one, because it is based on promises of better things.
7If there had been nothing wrong with the first covenant, there would have been no need for a second one. 8#Jer 31.31–34 (LXX)But God finds fault with his people when he says:
“The days are coming, says the Lord,
when I will draw up a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.
9It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors
on the day I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt.
They were not faithful to the covenant I made with them,
and so I paid no attention to them.
10Now, this is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel
in the days to come, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
11None of them will have to teach their fellow-citizens
or say to their fellow-citizens,
‘Know the Lord.’
For they will all know me,
from the least to the greatest.
12I will forgive their sins
and will no longer remember their wrongs.”
13By speaking of a new covenant, God has made the first one old; and anything that becomes old and worn out will soon disappear.
