1 A head thing but to those being spoken, such we have a high–priest, who sat down at right of the throne of the majesty in the heavens,2 of the holy things a public servant, and of the tabernacle of the true, which fixed the Lord, and not man.3 Every for high–priest in order to the to offer gifts both and sacrifices is appointed; hence necessary, to have something also this which he might offer.4 If indeed for he was on earth, not even could he be a priest, being of the priests those offering according to the law the gifts;5 who in an example and in a shadow serve of the heavenlies, even as had been divinely warned Moses, being about to finish the tabernacle: See thou for, he says, thou mayest make all things according to the pattern that having been shown to thee in the mount;)6 now but more excellent he has obtained a service by as much also of a better he is covenant a mediator, which on better promises has been instituted.7 If for the first that was faultless, not would a second be seeking a place.8 Finding fault for to them he says: Lo, days are coming, says a Lord, and I will finish with the house Israel and with the house of Judah a covenant new;9 not according to the covenant which I made with the fathers of them, in a day having laid hold of me of the hand of them, to lead out them out of land of Egypt; because they not did abide in the covenant of me, and I cared not for them, says a Lord.10 For this the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel after the days those, says Lord, giving laws of me into the mind of them, and on hearts of them I will write them; and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to me for a people.11 And not not they may teach each one the fellow–citizen of himself, and each one the brother of himself, saying: Know you the Lord; because all shall know me, from least of them even to greatest of them.12 Because merciful I will be to the unrighteousnesses of them, and of the sins of them and of the iniquities of them not not I will remember more.13 By the to say new, he has declared old the first; that but becoming old and advancing in age, near disappearing.
