Hebrews 8:5-7

New International Version

⁵ They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy^(A) and shadow^(B) of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned^(C) 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](D) 6} But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant^(E) of which he is mediator^(F) 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.^(G)
