Hebrews 8:3-5

Common English Bible

³ Every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. So it’s necessary for this high priest also to have something to offer. ⁴ If he was located on earth, he wouldn’t be a priest because there are already others who offer gifts based on the Law. ⁵ They serve in a place that is a copy and shadow of the heavenly meeting tent. This is indicated when Moses was warned by God when he was about to set up the meeting tent: See that you follow the pattern that I showed you on the mountain in every detail.^[a]
