Hebrews 8 — ULB
8Verse 1Now the point of what we are saying is this: We have a high priest who has sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens.Verse 2He is a servant in the holy place, the true tabernacle that the Lord, not a man, set up.Verse 3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary to have something to offer.Verse 4Now if Christ were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the law.Verse 5They serve in a tabernacle that is a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. It is just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to construct the tabernacle: God said, “See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.”Verse 6But now Christ has received a much better ministry, just as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which is based on better promises.Verse 7For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant.Verse 8For when God found fault with the people, he said,“See, the days are coming—says the Lord—
when I will make a new covenantwith the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.Verse 9It will not be like the covenantthat I made with their ancestorson the day that I took them by their handto lead them out of the land of Egypt.For they did not carefully obey my covenant,and I disregarded them—says the Lord.
Verse 10This is the covenantthat I will make with the house of Israelafter those days—says the Lord.I will put my laws into their minds,
and I will also write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
Verse 11They will not teach each one his neighbor
and each one his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord.'
For they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
Verse 12For I will be merciful toward their evil deeds,
and their sins I will not remember any longer.”Verse 13By calling this covenant “new,” he declared the first covenant to be old, and what has become old and obsolete will soon disappear.
