Hebrews 8:3-5
New American Standard Bible
3 For every (A)high priest is appointed (B)to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer. 4 Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are [a]those who (C)offer the gifts according to the Law; 5 who serve (D)a copy and (E)shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses [b]was (F)warned by God when he was about to erect the [c]tabernacle; for, “(G)See,” He says, “that you make all things by the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.”

Hebrews 8:3-5
New International Version
3 Every high priest(A) is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices,(B) and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.(C) 4 If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.(D) 5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy(E) and shadow(F) of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned(G) when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”[a](H)
