BRETHREN, we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand
of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister in the sanctuary
and the true tent which is set up not by man but by the Lord. For
every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; hence it
is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. Now if
he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are
priests who offer gifts according to the law. They serve a copy and
shadow of the heavenly sanctuary; for when Moses was about to erect the
tent, he was instructed by God, saying, "See that you make
everything according to the pattern which was shown you on the
mountain." But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry which is as much
more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better,
since it is enacted on better promises.
