Hebrews 8

1 Now the main point of the things we are saying is this: We do have such a High Priest, who sat down at the right of the Majesty's throne in the heavens,

[The] sum now of the [things] being spoken of [is that] such we have a high priest who sat down at [the] right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

2 Minister of the Holy Places, that is, of the true Tabernacle which the Lord set up, not man.

in the Holy [Places] a minister and in the tabernacle true, which has pitched the Lord, (and *k*) not man.

3 Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices (it follows that it is necessary for this One also to have something He might offer)

Every for high priest in order to offer gifts both and sacrifices is appointed; wherefore [it was] necessary to have something also [for] this One that He may offer.

4 —if He were on earth He would not be a priest, there already being priests who offer the gifts according to the Law;

If certainly (then *N(K)O*) He were on earth, not even then would He was being a priest while are being (*k*) (priests *K*) those offering according to (*k*) law the gifts,

5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things (that is why Moses was warned by God when he was ready to assemble the Tabernacle: “See to it,” He says, “that you make everything according to the pattern shown to you on the mountain”)—

who to a copy and shadow minster of the heavenly, even as has been divinely instructed Moses being about to complete the tabernacle; do see that for He says (you will make *N(k)O*) all things according to the pattern which having been shown you in the mountain;

6 but now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, just as He is Mediator of a better covenant, which was enacted as law on the basis of better promises.

(now *NK(o)*) however more excellent (He has obtained *N(k)O*) a ministry, as much as also of a better He is covenant [the] mediator, which upon better promises has been enacted.

7 Now if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for a second one;

If for the first that [one] was faultless, not then would for a second was being sought a place.

8 but finding fault with them He says: “Listen! Days are coming,” says the Lord, “when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah

Finding fault for (with them *N(k)O*) He says: Behold [the] days are coming, says [the] Lord, and I will ratify with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a covenant new,

9 —not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by my covenant and so I disregarded them,” says the Lord.

not according to the covenant that I made the with fathers of them in [the] day of having taken hold of by Me the hand of them to lead them out of [the] land of Egypt, because they themselves not did continue in the covenant of Mine, and I myself and I myself disregarded them, says [the] Lord.

10 “Now this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says the Lord, “I will put my laws into their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God and they will be my people.

For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after the days those, says [the] Lord, putting Laws of Mine into the mind of them and upon hearts of them I will inscribe them; and I will be to them for God, and they themselves will be to Me for a people.

11 Further, not one of them will teach his neighbor and not one his brother saying, ‘Get to know the Lord!’ because they all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.

And certainly not shall they teach each the (comrade *N(k)O*) of him and each the brother of him saying; do know the Lord,’ because all will know Me, from [the] least (of them *k*) to [the] greatest of them;

12 For I will be merciful to their wrongdoings; I will not at all remember their sins and their lawless deeds.”

because merciful I will be toward the iniquities of them and the sins of them (and the lawless acts of them *K*) certainly not I may remember more.

13 By saying ‘new’ He has made the first one ‘old’; and what is obsolete and aging is near the end.

In saying new He has made obsolete the first; that then growing old and aging [is] near vanishing.
