1. Now 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,
2. and who serves in the set-apart place and of the true Tent, which יהוה set up, and not man.
3. For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and slaughters. So it was also necessary for this One to have somewhat to offer.
4. For if indeed He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the Torah,
5. who 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.”
6. But now He has obtained a more excellent service, inasmuch as He is also Mediatorof a better covenant, which was constituted on better promises.
7. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
