Hebrews 8 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

A Better Ministry

Heb 8:1Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

Heb 8:2

Heb 8:2a minister [fn]in the sanctuary and [fn]in the true [fn]tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

Heb 8:3

Heb 8:3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

Heb 8:4

Heb 8:4Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law;

Heb 8:5

Heb 8:5who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses [fn]was warned by God when he was about to erect the [fn]tabernacle; for, “SEE,” He says, “THAT YOU MAKE all things ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN WHICH WAS SHOWN YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN.”

Heb 8:6

Heb 8:6But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

A New Covenant

(Jer 31:31–34 )

Heb 8:7

Heb 8:7For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second.

Heb 8:8

Heb 8:8For finding fault with them, He says,
“BEHOLD, DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD,
[fn]WHEN I WILL EFFECT A NEW COVENANT
WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH;

Heb 8:9

Heb 8:9NOT 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.

Heb 8:10

Heb 8:10“FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL
AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD:
[fn]I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MINDS,
AND I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS.
AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD,
AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.

Heb 8:11

Heb 8:11“AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERYONE HIS FELLOW CITIZEN,
AND EVERYONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, ‘KNOW THE LORD,’
FOR ALL WILL KNOW ME,
FROM [fn]THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST OF THEM.

Heb 8:12

Heb 8:12“FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES,
AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE.”

Heb 8:13

Heb 8:13 [fn]When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is [fn]ready to disappear.
