8:1  Now the main-point in the things being said is: we have such a High Priest, Who sat-down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
8:2  Minister of the Holies, indeed of the true tabernacle (which the Lord pitched, not a human).
8:3  For every high priest is appointed that he might be offering both gifts and sacrifices. Hence it is necessary that this One also have something which He may offer.
8:4  Now indeed, if He were on earth He would not even be a priest— there being the ones offering the gifts according-to the Law,
8:5  who are serving a copy and a shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses has been warned, being about to complete the tabernacle: for “See”, He says [in Ex 25:40], “that you make everything according to the pattern having been shown to you on the mountain”.
8:6  But He has now obtained a more-excellent ministry, by as much as He is indeed the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises!
8:7  For if that first covenant had been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second.
8:8  For, finding-fault-with them, He says [in Jer 31:31-34]: “Behold— days are coming, says the Lord, and I will consummate a new covenant for the house of Israel and for the house of Judah;
8:9  not in accordance with the covenant which I made with their fathers on the day I took-hold-of their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in My covenant, and I did not-care-for them, says the Lord.
8:10  Because this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: Giving My laws into their mind, I will also write them upon their heart. And I will be God to them and they will be a people to Me.
8:11  And they will by no means each teach his fellow-citizen and each his brother, saying ‘Know the Lord’, because they all will know Me from the small one up to their great one.
8:12  Because I will be merciful to their wrong-doings, and I will never remember their sins again”.
8:13  In that He says “New”, He has made the first old. And the thing becoming old and growing-aged is near disappearance.
