2. LA SUPERIORITA' DEL CULTO, DEL SANTUARIO E DELLA MEDIAZIONE DEL CRISTO SACERDOTE
Il nuovo sacerdozio e il nuovo santuario
8 Il punto capitale delle cose che stiamo dicendo è questo: noi abbiamo un sommo sacerdote così grande che si è assiso alla destra del trono della maestà nei cieli, 2 ministro del santuario e della vera tenda che il Signore, e non un uomo, ha costruito.
3 Ogni sommo sacerdote infatti viene costituito per offrire doni e sacrifici: di qui la necessità che anch'egli abbia qualcosa da offrire. 4 Se Gesù fosse sulla terra, egli non sarebbe neppure sacerdote, poiché vi sono quelli che offrono i doni secondo la legge. 5 Questi però attendono a un servizio che è una copia e un'ombra delle realtà celesti, secondo quanto fu detto da Dio a Mosè, quando stava per costruire la Tenda: Guarda, disse, di fare ogni cosa secondo il modello che ti è stato mostrato sul monte.
Il Cristo mediatore di un'alleanza migliore
6 Ora invece egli ha ottenuto un ministero tanto più eccellente quanto migliore è l'alleanza di cui è mediatore, essendo questa fondata su migliori promesse. 7 Se la prima infatti fosse stata perfetta, non sarebbe stato il caso di stabilirne un'altra. 8 Dio infatti, biasimando il suo popolo, dice:
Ecco vengono giorni, dice il Signore,
quando io stipulerò con la casa d'Israele
e con la casa di Giuda
un'alleanza nuova;
9 non come l'alleanza che feci con i loro padri,
nel giorno in cui li presi per mano
per farli uscire dalla terra d'Egitto;
poiché essi non son rimasti fedeli alla mia alleanza,
anch'io non ebbi più cura di loro, dice il Signore.
10 E questa è l'alleanza che io stipulerò con la casa
d'Israele
dopo quei giorni, dice il Signore:
porrò le mie leggi nella loro mente
e le imprimerò nei loro cuori;
sarò il loro Dio
ed essi saranno il mio popolo.
11 Né alcuno avrà più da istruire il suo concittadino,
né alcuno il proprio fratello, dicendo:
Conosci il Signore!
Tutti infatti mi conosceranno,
dal più piccolo al più grande di loro.
12 Perché io perdonerò le loro iniquità
e non mi ricorderò più dei loro peccati.
13 Dicendo però alleanza nuova, Dio ha dichiarato antiquata la prima; ora, ciò che diventa antico e invecchia, è prossimo a sparire.

The High Priest of a New Covenant
8 Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest,(A) who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,(B) 2 and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle(C) set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.
3 Every high priest(D) is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices,(E) and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.(F) 4 If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.(G) 5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy(H) and shadow(I) of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned(J) when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”[a](K) 6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant(L) of which he is mediator(M) is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.
7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.(N) 8 But God found fault with the people and said[b]:
“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant(O)
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
9 It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors(P)
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
10 This is the covenant(Q) I will establish with the people of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts.(R)
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.(S)
11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,(T)
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.(U)”[c](V)
13 By calling this covenant “new,”(W) he has made the first one obsolete;(X) and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

The New Priestly Service
8 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, (A)who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a Minister of (B)the [a]sanctuary and of (C)the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.
3 For (D)every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore (E)it is necessary that this One also have something to offer. 4 For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; 5 who serve (F)the copy and (G)shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, (H)“See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” 6 But now (I)He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a (J)better covenant, which was established on better promises.
A New Covenant(K)
7 For if that (L)first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, He says: (M)“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 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 continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the (N)Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and (O)I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 (P)None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the (Q)Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, (R)and their sins [b]and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
13 (S)In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
