1 The sum of what hath been spoken is, We have such an high
priest, note who is set down at the right-hand of the throne of the Majesty
in the heavens,
2 A minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle,
which the Lord hath fixed note and not man.
3 For every high
priest is ordained to offer up gifts and sacrifices; whence it was necessary,
that this also should have somewhat to offer.
4 For if he were on
earth, note he would not be a priest, there being priests that offer gifts,
according to the law,
5 Who serve note after the pattern and shadow of
-- --
heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God, when he was
about to make the tabernacle; for, saith he, note See thou make all
things according to the pattern which was shewed thee on the mount.
6 And now he hath obtained a more excellent ministry, note by how much
better a covenant he is a mediator of, which is established upon better
promises.
7 For if the first had been faultless, note no place would have
been sought for a second.
8 For finding fault with them note he saith,
note Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when I will finish a new covenant
with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according
to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day
when I took them by the hand, note to lead them out of the land of
Egypt, because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded
them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant which I will
make with the house of Israel after those days, note saith the Lord: I will
put my laws in their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I
will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
11 And they note
shall not teach every one his neighbour, and every one his brother,
saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least
to the greatest.
12 For I will note be merciful to their unrighteousness and
-- --
their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In saying, a
new covenant, he hath antiquated the first; note now that which is antiquated
and decayed, is ready to vanish away.
