Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a ^(C1)high priest, who has taken His seat at ^(C2)the right hand of the throne of the ^(C2)Majesty in the heavens,

a ^(C1)minister ^(F1)in the sanctuary and ^(F1)in the ^(C2)true ^(F2)tabernacle, which the Lord ^(C3)set up, not man.

For every ^(C1)high priest is appointed ^(C2)to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are ^(F1)those who ^(C1)offer the gifts according to the Law;

who serve ^(C1)a copy and ^(C2)shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses ^(F1)was ^(C3)warned by God when he was about to erect the ^(F2)tabernacle; for, "^(C4)SEE," He says, "THAT YOU MAKE all things BY THE PATTERN WHICH WAS SHOWN TO YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN."

But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, to the extent that He is also the ^(C1)mediator of ^(C2)a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.
