4 Therefore if he were on earth, he were no priest, when there were that should offer gifts by the law, [Therefore if he were on earth, he were not priest, when there were that should offer gifts after the law,]
5 which serve to the exemplar and shadow of heavenly things. As it was answered to Moses, when he should end the tabernacle, See, he said, make thou all things by the exemplar, that is showed to thee in the mount.[a]

Hebrews 8:3-5
English Standard Version
3 For (A)every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus (B)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. 5 They serve (C)a copy and (D)shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, (E)“See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.”
