希伯来书8:1-5
1我们所讲的事，其中第一要紧的，就是我们有这样的大祭司，已经坐在天上至大者宝座的右边，2在圣所，就是真帐幕里，作执事。这帐幕是主所支的，不是人所支的。3凡大祭司都是为献礼物和祭物设立的。所以这位大祭司也必须有所献的。4他若在地上，必不得为祭司，因为已经有照律法献礼物的祭司。5他们供奉的事，本是天上事的形状和影像，正如摩西将要造帐幕的时候，蒙神警戒他，说，你要谨慎，作各样的物件，都要照着在山上指示你的样式。
1Here is the main point: We have a High Priest who sat down in the place of honor beside the throne of the majestic God in heaven. 2There he ministers in the heavenly Tabernacle,#8:2 Or tent; also in 8:5. the true place of worship that was built by the Lord and not by human hands. 3And since every high priest is required to offer gifts and sacrifices, our High Priest must make an offering, too. 4If he were here on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there already are priests who offer the gifts required by the law. 5They serve in a system of worship that is only a copy, a shadow of the real one in heaven. For when Moses was getting ready to build the Tabernacle, God gave him this warning: “Be sure that you make everything according to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain.”#8:5 Exod 25:40; 26:30.
