| 13 | In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. | By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear. | In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away. |

AI-assisted, sourcedHebrews 8:7-13The new covenant
About Hebrews 8"We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens," a minister "of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man." The earthly priests serve "the example and shadow of heavenly things," as Moses was told to make all "according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount," but Christ is "the mediator of a better covenant." The writer quotes God's promise, "I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah," and says, "In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old."
