NASB — Hebrews 8 — KJV

A Better Ministry

1 Now° the main° point° in what has been said° [is this]: we have° such° a ahigh° priest°, who° has taken° His seat° at bthe right° hand° of the throne° of the bMajesty° in the heavens°, 2 a aminister° Iin the sanctuary° and Iin the btrue° IItabernacle°, which° the Lord° cpitched°, not man°. 3 For every° ahigh° priest° is appointed° bto offer° both° gifts° and sacrifices°; so° it is necessary° that this° [high priest] also° have° something° to offer°. 4 Now° if° He were on earth°, He would not be a priest° at all°, since there are those° who aoffer° the gifts° according° to the Law°; 5 who° serve° aa copy° and bshadow° of the heavenly° things°, just° as Moses° Iwas cwarned° [by God] when he was about° to erect° the IItabernacle°; for, “dSEE°,” He says°, “THAT YOU MAKE° all° things° ACCORDING° TO THE PATTERN° WHICH WAS SHOWN° YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN°.” 6 But now° He has obtained° a more° excellent° ministry°, by as much° as He is also° the amediator° of ba better° covenant°, which° has been enacted° on better° promises°.

A New Covenant

7 For aif° that first° [covenant] had been° faultless°, there would have been no° occasion° sought° for a second°. 8 For finding° fault° with them, He says°,
  “aBEHOLD°, DAYS° ARE COMING°, SAYS° THE LORD°,
  IWHEN° I WILL EFFECT° bA NEW° COVENANT°
  WITH THE HOUSE° OF ISRAEL° AND WITH THE HOUSE° OF JUDAH°;
  9 aNOT LIKE° THE COVENANT° WHICH° I MADE° WITH THEIR FATHERS°
  ON THE DAY° WHEN I TOOK° THEM BY THE HAND°
  TO LEAD° THEM OUT OF THE LAND° OF EGYPT°;
  FOR THEY DID NOT CONTINUE° IN MY COVENANT°,
  AND I DID NOT CARE° FOR THEM, SAYS° THE LORD°.
  10aFOR THIS° IS THE COVENANT° THAT I WILL MAKE° WITH THE HOUSE° OF ISRAEL°
  AFTER° THOSE° DAYS°, SAYS° THE LORD°:
  II WILL PUT° MY LAWS° INTO THEIR MINDS°,
  AND I WILL WRITE° THEM bON THEIR HEARTS°.
  AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD°,
  AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE°.
  11aAND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH° EVERYONE° HIS FELLOW° CITIZEN°,
  AND EVERYONE° HIS BROTHER°, SAYING°, ‘KNOW° THE LORD°,’
  FOR bALL° WILL KNOW° ME,
  FROM ITHE LEAST° TO THE GREATEST° OF THEM.
  12aFOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL° TO THEIR INIQUITIES°,
  bAND I WILL REMEMBER° THEIR SINS° NO°° MORE°.”
13 IWhen° He said°, “aA new° [covenant],” He has made° the first° obsolete°. bBut whatever is becoming° obsolete° and growing° old° is IIready° to disappear°.

By the eternal priesthood of Christ the Levitical priesthood of Aaron is abolished.

1 ¶ Nowº ofº the things which we have spokenºª [this is] the sum:º We haveºª suchº an high priest,º whoº is setºª onº the right handº of the² throneº of the² Majestyº inº the² heavens;º 2 A ministerº of the² sanctuary,º andº of the² trueº tabernacle,º whichº the² Lordº pitched,ºª andº notº man.º 3 Forº everyº high priestº is ordainedºª to¹ offerºª² giftsº andº¹ sacrifices:º whereforeº [it is] of necessityº that this manº haveºª somewhatº² alsoº to¹ offer.ºª 4 Forº ifº¹ he² wereºª onº earth,º he should¹ notº beºª² a priest,º seeing that there areºª priestsº that offerºª giftsº accordingº to the² law:º 5 Whoº serveºª unto the exampleº andº shadowº of heavenly things,º asº Mosesº was admonished of Godºª when he was aboutºª to makeºª the² tabernacle:º for,º See,ºª saith² he,¹ª [that] thou makeºª all thingsº according² to¹ the² patternº shewedºª to theeº inº the² mount.º 6 Butº nowº hath he obtainedºª a more excellentº ministry,º by how muchº alsoº he isºª the mediatorº of a betterº covenant,º whichº was establishedºª uponº betterº promises.º

And the temporal Covenant with the fathers, by the eternal Covenant of the Gospel.

7 Forº ifº thatº firstº [covenant] had beenºª faultless,º then should¹ noº² placeº have been soughtºª for the second.º 8 Forº finding faultºª with them,º he saith,ºª Behold,ºª the daysº come,ºª saithºª the Lord,º whenº I will makeºª a newº covenantº withº the² houseº of Israelº andº withº the² houseº of Judah:º 9 Notº according² to¹ the² covenantº thatº I made² with¹ª theirº fathersº inº the dayº when I² tookºª themº by the² handº¹ to leadºª themº out ofº the landº of Egypt;º becauseº theyº continuedºª notº inº myº covenant,º and Iº regarded¹ª them¹ not,ºª² saithºª the Lord.º 10 Forº thisº [is] the² covenantº thatº I will makeºª with the² houseº of Israelº afterº thoseº days,º saithºª the Lord;º I will putºª myº lawsº intoº theirº mind,º andº writeºª themº inº theirº hearts:º andº I will beºª to¹ themº a² God,º andº theyº shall beºª to¹ meº a² people:º 11 Andº they shall¹ª notº teachºª every manº his¹² neighbour,º andº every manº his¹² brother,º saying,ºª Knowºª the² Lord:º forº allº shall knowºª me,º fromº the leastºº toº the greatest.ºº 12 Forº I will beºª mercifulº to theirº unrighteousness,º andº theirº sinsº andº theirº iniquitiesº will I rememberºª no¹ more.º² 13 In¹ that he saith,ºª A newº [covenant], he hath made¹ª the first¹ old.ºª²² Nowº that which decayethºª andº waxeth oldºª [is] ready¹ to vanish away.º²
