Hebrews 8:3-5

New Matthew Bible

³ For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices, and therefore it is necessary that this man also have something to offer. ⁴ For he would not be a priest if he were on the earth, where are the priests who offer gifts according to the law. ⁵ Such priests serve in the figure and shadow of heavenly things, in accordance with the oracle of God given to Moses when he was about to make the tabernacle: Take heed (said he) that you fashion all things according to the pattern shown to you in the mount.
