For to which one of the angels at any time did he say, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be unto him a Father, and he shall be unto me a Son?

Therefore as the Holy Spirit says, This day if you hear his voice,

Therefore I was provoked with this generation, and I said, They do always err in their heart: and they have not known my way,

In that it is said, This day if you hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation:

And in this again he has said, They shall not enter into my rest.

again he appoints a certain day, saying in David, as has previously been said, This day, after so long a time; If you may hear his voice this day, harden not your hearts.

and on this account he has need, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.

And no one takes this honor to himself, but the one called of God, as indeed Aaron was.

Likewise Christ also did not glorify himself to become a high priest, but the one having spoken to him, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee:

And we will do this, if God may permit.

but God, in this wishing more abundantly to show forth to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, the one having met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him,

You see how great this man was, to whom the patriarch Abraham even gave the tenth part of the chief spoils.

who had not daily need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for their own sins, then those of the people: for he did this, having offered up himself once.

But in addition to the things which having been spoken this is the principal thing: We have such a high priest, who sat on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

Because this is my covenant which I will establish with the house of Israel after these days, says the Lord; having given my laws in their mind, I will also write them on their heart; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be unto me a people.

Then indeed the first tabernacle also, had ordinances of service, and a sanctuary for this world.

and above this was the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; concerning which things it is not pertinent to speak specifically.

the Holy Spirit showing this, the way of the holies has not yet been made manifest, the first tabernacle yet standing:

But Christ being a high priest of good things to come, through a greater and a more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this world;

And on this account he is mediator of the new covenant, since there being death, unto the redemption of the transgressions unto the first covenant, those having been called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God established unto you.

And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this is the judgment:

This is the covenant that I will make unto them after these days, says the Lord; having given my laws on their hearts, and I will also write them in their mind;

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as is the custom to some; but exhorting: and this the more, as you see the days drawing nigh.

Obey your leaders, and be submissive: for they are watching for your souls, as they shall give an account that they may do this with joy and not with grief, for this is unprofitable to you.

But I the more exhort you to do this, that I may the more speedily be restored unto you.
