Hebrews 8:11
Compare all
9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the aLord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and bI will be their God, and they shall be My people.  
11 aNone of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the bLord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.  
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, aand their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”  
13 aIn that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Hebrews 8:10-12

Because we have entered into this New Covenant, we need to know what our relationship is to government. Verse 11 clearly shows that fellowship with God and those under the New Covenant is now direct. "None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all shall know Me." He is pointing out that there is no need of a privileged class of intermediaries.

This does not mean, though, that there is no need of teachers. This is clearly shown in the book of Ephesians, where God made a gift (or, many gifts) of teachers to the church. What the apostle means here in Hebrews is, rather, that knowledge will not be confined to a special elite as it was in Judaism's scribal class. Remember the scribes and the Pharisees? It is also interesting to note that the comparison in this chapter is with Moses and the Tabernacle.
