As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, not by man.

Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain.

For the first Tent was made ready, having in it the vessels for the lights and the table and the ordering of the bread; and this is named the holy place.

Now while these things were in existence, the priests went into the first Tent at all times, for prayer and the making of offerings.

The Holy Spirit witnessing by this that the way into the holy place had not at that time been made open, while the first Tent was still in being;

But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,

And the blood was put on the Tent and all the holy vessels in the same way.

We have an altar from which those priests who are servants in the Tent may not take food.
