Hebrews 8:5-13

WPNT(i) 5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things (that is why Moses was warned by God when he was ready to assemble the Tabernacle: “See to it,” He says, “that you make everything according to the pattern shown to you on the mountain”)— 6 but now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, just as He is Mediator of a better covenant, which was enacted as law on the basis of better promises. 7 Now if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for a second one; 8 but finding fault with them He says: “Listen! Days are coming,” says the LORD, “when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah — 9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by my covenant and so I disregarded them,” says the LORD. 10 “Now this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says the LORD, “I will put my laws into their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God and they will be my people. 11 Further, not one of them will teach his neighbor and not one his brother saying, ‘Get to know the LORD!’ because they all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their wrongdoings; I will not at all remember their sins and lawless deeds.” 13 By saying ‘new’ He has made the first one ‘old’; and what is obsolete and aging is near the end.
