Hebrews 8:2-4
English Standard Version
2 a minister in the holy places, in (A)the true tent[a] that the Lord (B)set up, not man. 3 For (C)every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus (D)it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. 4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law.

Hebrews 8:2-4
New International Version
2 and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle(A) set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.
3 Every high priest(B) is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices,(C) and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.(D) 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.(E)
