1Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,
2As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, not by man.
3Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.
4If he had been on earth he would not have been a priest at all, because there are other priests who make the offerings ordered by the law;
5Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain.
6But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.
7For if that first agreement had been as good as possible, there would have been no place for a second.
