Hebrews 8:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 8:3

The New Priestly Service

1 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, ^awho is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

2 a Minister of ^athe sanctuary and of ^bthe true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.

3 For ^aevery high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore ^bit is necessary that this One also have something to offer.

4 For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;

5 who serve ^athe copy and ^bshadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, ^c“See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”
