Hebrews 8:4-5
New American Standard Bible
4 Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are [a]those who (A)offer the gifts according to the Law; 5 who serve (B)a copy and (C)shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses [b]was (D)warned by God when he was about to erect the [c]tabernacle; for, “(E)See,” He says, “that you make all things by the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.”

Hebrews 8:4-5
New International Version
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.(A) 5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy(B) and shadow(C) of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned(D) 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](E)
