You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later;

“Therefore I was angry with this generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they did not know My ways’;

Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.

And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

And no one takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was.

For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,

Now observe how great this man was to whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth of the choicest spoils.

Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron?

For the one concerning whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.

Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law;

But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second.

For finding fault with them, He says,
“Behold, days are coming, says the Lord,
When I will effect a new covenant
With the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

“And they shall not teach everyone his fellow citizen,
And everyone his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
For all will know Me,
From the least to the greatest of them.

“For I will be merciful to their iniquities,
And I will remember their sins no more.”

When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.

Now even the first covenant had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary.

and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle performing the divine worship,

For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins?

In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have taken no pleasure.

“And their sins and their lawless deeds
I will remember no more.”

Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin.

by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,

For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge His people.”

But My righteous one shall live by faith;
And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him.

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.

See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;

that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.

For you know that even afterwards, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears.

and to the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words which sound was such that those who heard begged that no further word be spoken to them.

and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel.

And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.”

We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.

Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord,
