“Our ancestors had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, just as He who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern he had seen.

But thank God that, although you used to be slaves of sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching you were transferred to,

Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

Let us then make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the same pattern of disobedience.

These serve as a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was warned when he was about to complete the tabernacle. For God said, Be careful that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.
