Hebrews 8 — ASV
8Verse 1Now in the things which we are saying the chief point is this: We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,Verse 2a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.Verse 3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that this high priest also have somewhat to offer.Verse 4Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are those who offer the gifts according to the law;Verse 5who serve that which is a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses is warned of God when he is about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern that was showed thee in the mount.Verse 6But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.Verse 7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for a second.Verse 8For finding fault with them, he saith,Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,
That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
Verse 9Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers
In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt;
For they continued not in my covenant,
And I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
Verse 10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
After those days, saith the Lord;
I will put my laws into their mind,
And on their heart also will I write them:
And I will be to them a God,
And they shall be to me a people:
Verse 11And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen,
And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord:
For all shall know me,
From the least to the greatest of them.
Verse 12For I will be merciful to their iniquities,
And their sins will I remember no more.Verse 13In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.
