NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Hebrews 8

A Better Ministry

1

Nowg1161 the maing2774 pointg2774 in what has been saidg3004 is this: we haveg2192 suchg5108 a  ahighg749 priestg749, whog3739 has takeng2523 His seatg2523 at  bthe rightg1188 handg1188 of the throneg2362 of the  bMajestyg3172 in the heavensg3772,

2

a  aministerg3011  1in the sanctuaryg40 and  1in the  btrueg228  2tabernacleg4633, whichg3739 the Lordg2962  cpitchedg4078, not mang444.

3

For everyg3956  ahighg749 priestg749 is appointedg2525  bto offerg4374 bothg5037 giftsg1435 and sacrificesg2378; sog3606 it is necessaryg316 that thisg3778 high priest alsog2532 haveg2192 somethingg5100 to offerg4374.

4

Nowg3767 ifg1487 He were on earthg1093, He would not be a priestg2409 at allg3761, since there are thoseg3588 who  aofferg4374 the giftsg1435 accordingg2596 to the Lawg3551;

5

whog3748 serveg3000  aa copyg5262 and  bshadowg4639 of the heavenlyg2032 thingsg2032, justg2531a as Mosesg3475  1was  cwarnedg5537 by God when he was aboutg3195 to erectg2005 the  2tabernacleg4633; for, " dSEEg3708," He saysg5346, "THAT YOU MAKEg4160 allg3956 thingsg3956 ACCORDINGg2596 TO THE PATTERNg5179b WHICH WAS SHOWNg1166 YOU ON THE MOUNTAINg3735."

6

But nowg3568 He has obtainedg5177 a moreg1313 excellentg1313 ministryg3009, by as muchg3745 as He is alsog2532 the  amediatorg3316 of  ba betterg2909 covenantg1242, whichg3748 has been enactedg3549 on betterg2909 promisesg1860.

A New Covenant

7

For  aifg1487 that firstg4413 covenant had beeng1510 faultlessg273, there would have been nog3756 occasiong5117 soughtg2212 for a secondg1208.

8

For findingg3201 faultg3201 with them, He saysg3004, " aBEHOLDg2400, DAYSg2250 ARE COMINGg2064, SAYSg3004 THE LORDg2962,  1WHENg2532 I WILL EFFECTg4931  bA NEWg2537 COVENANTg1242 WITH THE HOUSEg3624 OF ISRAELg2474 AND WITH THE HOUSEg3624 OF JUDAHg2455;

9

 aNOT LIKEg2596 THE COVENANTg1242 WHICHg3739 I MADEg4160 WITH THEIR FATHERSg3962 ON THE DAYg2250 WHEN I TOOKg1949 THEM BY THE HANDg5495 TO LEADg1806 THEM OUT OF THE LANDg1093 OF EGYPTg125; FOR THEY DID NOT CONTINUEg1696 IN MY COVENANTg1242, AND I DID NOT CAREg272 FOR THEM, SAYSg3004 THE LORDg2962.

10

aFOR THISg3778 IS THE COVENANTg1242 THAT I WILL MAKEg1303 WITH THE HOUSEg3624 OF ISRAELg2474 AFTERg3326 THOSEg1565 DAYSg2250, SAYSg3004 THE LORDg2962:  1I WILL PUTg1325 MY LAWSg3551 INTO THEIR MINDSg1271, AND I WILL WRITEg1924 THEM  bON THEIR HEARTSg2588. AND I WILL BE THEIR GODg2316, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLEg2992.

11

aAND THEY SHALL NOT TEACHg1321 EVERYONEg1538 HIS FELLOWg4177 CITIZENg4177, AND EVERYONEg1538 HIS BROTHERg80, SAYINGg3004, `KNOWg1097 THE LORDg2962,' FOR  bALLg3956 WILL KNOWg3609a ME, FROM  1THE LEASTg3398 TO THE GREATESTg3173 OF THEM.

12

aFOR I WILL BE MERCIFULg2436 TO THEIR INIQUITIESg93,  bAND I WILL REMEMBERg3403 THEIR SINSg266 NOg3756g3361 MOREg2089."

13

 1Wheng1722 He saidg3004, " aA newg2537 covenant," He has madeg3822 the firstg4413 obsoleteg3822.  bBut whatever is becomingg3822 obsoleteg3822 and growingg1095 oldg1095 is  2readyg1451 to disappearg854.
