Hebrews 8:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ If he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer the gifts required by the Jewish Law. ^5 (A)The work they do as priests is really only a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven. It is the same as it was with Moses. When he was about to build the Sacred Tent, God told him, “Be sure to make everything according to the pattern you were shown on the mountain.” ⁶ But now, Jesus has been given priestly work which is superior to theirs, just as the covenant which he arranged between God and his people is a better one, because it is based on promises of better things.
