Hebrews 8	Hebrews 8
Hebrews 8:1 Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,	Hebrews 8:1 Now in the things which we are saying the chief 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,
Hebrews 8:2 As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, not by man.	Hebrews 8:2 a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.
Hebrews 8:3 Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.	Hebrews 8:3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that this [high priest] also have somewhat to offer.
Hebrews 8:4 If he had been on earth he would not have been a priest at all, because there are other priests who make the offerings ordered by the law;	Hebrews 8:4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are those who offer the gifts according to the law;
Hebrews 8:5 Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain.	Hebrews 8:5 who serve [that which is] a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses is warned [of God] when he is about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern that was showed thee in the mount.
Hebrews 8:6 But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.	Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.
Hebrews 8:7 For if that first agreement had been as good as possible, there would have been no place for a second.	Hebrews 8:7 For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for a second.
Hebrews 8:8 For, protesting against them, he says, See, the days are coming when I will make a new agreement with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;	Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
Hebrews 8:9 Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand, to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; for they did not keep the agreement with me, and I gave them up, says the Lord.	Hebrews 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they continued not in my covenant, And I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
Hebrews 8:10 For this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in their hearts: and I will be their God, and they will be my people:	Hebrews 8:10 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 on their heart also will I write them: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people:
Hebrews 8:11 And there will be no need for every man to be teaching his brother, or his neighbour, saying, This is the knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, great and small.	Hebrews 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.
Hebrews 8:12 And I will have mercy on their evil-doing, and I will not keep their sins in mind.	Hebrews 8:12 For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more.
Hebrews 8:13 When he says, A new agreement, he has made the first agreement old. But anything which is getting old and past use will not be seen much longer.	Hebrews 8:13 In that he saith, A new [covenant] he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.
