Hebrews 8:6 Context
4For if he were on earth, he should not bee a Priest, seeing that there are Priests that offer gifts according to the Law: 5Who serue vnto the example and shadow of heauenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the Tabernacle. For see (saith he) that thou make all things according to the paterne shewed to thee in the mount. 6But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministerie, by how much also he is the Mediatour of a better Couenant, which was established vpon better promises. 7For if that first Couenant had bene faultles, then should no place haue bene sought for the second. 8For finding fault with them, hee saith, Behold, the dayes come (saith the Lord) when I will make a new couenant with the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah.
