and, `Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens;

Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens -- Jesus the Son of God -- may we hold fast the profession,

For such a chief priest did become us -- kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

And the sum concerning the things spoken of [is]: we have such a chief priest, who did sit down at the right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens,

[It is] necessary, therefore, the pattern indeed of the things in the heavens to be purified with these, and the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these;

for also with my bonds ye sympathised, and the robbery of your goods with joy ye did receive, knowing that ye have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring one.
