    The chapter

    What happens here

    Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

    The Lord once took a people by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, and later said, with unnerving economy, “I disregarded them.” The replacement covenant writes laws inwardly, promises universal knowledge of the Lord, and leaves the earlier one obsolete, aging, and waiting to disappear.

    The priest who serves in the true tabernaclevv. 1–6

    The high priest in view is seated at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven, yet ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord. Priests on earth offer gifts according to the law, but Jesus has a more excellent ministry and mediates a better covenant. The earthly place of service is called a copy and shadow, which gives Moses a remarkably exacting building instruction: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”

    The covenant that makes its predecessor obsoletevv. 7–13

    A fault in the first covenant leads to the promise of a second, and the fault is found with the people. The Lord recalls taking their fathers by the hand out of Egypt, then says they did not abide by the covenant and that he disregarded them. The new covenant places laws in minds and hearts, makes the Lord their God and the people his people, and promises that sins will be remembered no more. Its grand conclusion has the cool phrasing of a status notice: the first covenant is obsolete and aging, though it will “soon disappear.”

    The text

    Berean Standard Bible, public domain. Names the Hebrew and Greek put in the verse link to the person, place or people they name; the address beside each verse is a link to that verse, which is what a reader copies and shares.

    1. Heb 8:1The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

    2. Heb 8:2and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.

    3. Heb 8:3And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.

    4. Heb 8:4Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.

    5. Heb 8:5The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”

    6. Heb 8:6Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.

    7. Heb 8:7For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second.

    8. Heb 8:8But God found fault with the people and said: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.

    9. Heb 8:9It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them, declares the Lord.

    10. Heb 8:10For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.

    11. Heb 8:11No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.

    12. Heb 8:12For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”

    13. Heb 8:13By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.

    Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
