Now de the crowning affirmation kephalaion to epi what ho we are saying legō is this: we do have echō such toioutos a high archiereus priest , who hos has taken his seat kathizō at en the right dexios hand of the ho throne thronos of the ho Majesty megalōsynē in en · ho heaven ouranos, an officiating priest leitourgos of ho holy hagios things and kai of the ho true alēthinos tabernacle skēnē · ho which hos the ho Lord kyrios put up pēgnymi, not ou man anthrōpos.

Jesus Is Our High Priest

Here is the [main; most important] point of what we are saying: We have a high priest who sits on the right side of ·God’s [L the Majesty’s] throne in heaven. Our high priest ·serves [ministers; performs priestly service] in the ·Most Holy Place [sanctuary; L holy things], the true ·place of worship [Tabernacle; Holy Tent; Ex. 33:7] that was made by the Lord, not by humans.

[L For] Every high priest ·has the work of offering [is appointed to offer] gifts and sacrifices to God. So our high priest must also ·offer something to God [L have something to offer]. If our high priest were now living on earth, he would not be a priest, because there are already priests here who follow the law by offering gifts to God. ·The work they do as priests [or The sanctuary in which they serve] is only a ·copy [model; prototype] and a shadow of what is in heaven. This is why God warned Moses when he was ready to build the ·Holy Tent [T Tabernacle]: “Be very careful to make everything by the ·plan [pattern; design] I showed you on the mountain [Ex. 25:40].”
