Hebrews 8:1
NASB
Heb 8:1
&
Now the main point in what has been said {is this:} we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
Heb 8:2
&
a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.
Heb 8:3
&
For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this {high priest} also have something to offer.
Heb 8:4
&
Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law;
Heb 8:5
&
who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned {by God} when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, "SEE," He says, "THAT YOU MAKE all things ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN WHICH WAS SHOWN YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN."
