To which of the angels has he ever said, Sit at my right hand, Till I make thy foes a footstool for thy feet?

For this reason we must pay the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, for fear we should drift away.

Which having begun to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him;

It is not to angels that God subjected the age to be, of which we are speaking.

For both he who sanctifies and those whom he is sanctifying are all from One; for which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying.

Though he was a son, yet learned he obedience through the things which he suffered;

On which principle God, wishing to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his purpose, mediated with an oath;

that by means of two immutable things??is promise and his oath??n which it is impossible for God to break faith, we refugees may have strong encouragement to grasp the hope set before us.

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, secure and strong, and passing into the sanctuary which is beyond the veil;

He who is thus described belonged to another tribe, not one member of which has ever served at the altar.

For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing concerning the priesthood.

(for the Law brought nothing to perfection); and there is the bringing in of a better hope by which we draw near to God;

For the Law appoints human beings to be high priests, men with all their weakness; but the word of the oath, which was later than the Law, appoints a Son, perfected forevermore.

a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

But Jesus has obtained a better ministry, by so much as he is also Mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted upon better promises.

Not according tot he covenant which I made with their forefathers, On the day when I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they did not continue in my covenant, And therefore I disregarded them," says the Lord.

"For this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel, After these days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their minds, And upon their hearts will I write them; And I will be their God, And they shall be my people;

For a tent was built, the outer one called the Holy Place, in which were the lamp and the table and the loaves of the Presence;

In it was the golden altar of incense, and also the Ark of the Covenant covered all over with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

but into the inner tent the high priest only goes alone, once a year, and that not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the ignorances of the people.

This is a parable, for the present time, according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able, as far as conscience is concerned, to perfect the worshiper;

saying, This is the blood of that testament which God commanded in regard to you.

For the Law, being only a shadow of the good things to come, and not their very substance, its priests cannot with the same sacrifice which year after year they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

For while every priest stands, day after day, at his ministrations, and many times repeats the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,

by the way which he dedicated for us, that new and living way, through the veil (that is, his flesh);

but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fiery indignation which is about to devour the adversaries.

How much surer, think you, will be the punishment of one who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has profaned that covenant blood with which he was sanctified, and has done despite to the spirit of grace?

But ever call to mind the former days, in which, after having been enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings;

By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice more acceptable than that of Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting his gifts; and through it he, although he is dead, still speaks.

By faith Noah, warned of God of things not yet seen, reverently gave heed, and built an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is of faith.

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out unto a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

For he continually looked for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

And if they had cherished the memory of that land from which they went out, they would have found an opportunity to return;

and have you forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as sons? My son, do not despise the training of the Lord, Nor faint when he corrects you;

If you are left without discipline, in which all children share, then are you bastards and not sons.

Run swiftly after peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

For they could not endure that which was enjoined, Even if a wild beast touches the mountain it shall be stoned to death;

That phrase, "Once again," signifies the removal of the things which can be shaken, created things, in order that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Wherefore since we are receiving a kingdom which is unshakable, let us give thanks, and so offer acceptable worship to God, with holy awe and fear,

Do not allow yourselves to be swept away by various and strange teachings. For it is a beautiful thing to be established in heart by grace, and not by regulations regarding food, from which those that occupied themselves with them have derived no benefit.

We Christians have an altar from which those have no right to eat who minister in the Tabernacle.
