and not man.

(3)For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices;
wherefore it is necessary, that this one have something which he may
offer. (4)For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since
there are those who offer gifts according to the law, (5)who minister
after an outline and a shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was
admonished by God, when he was about to make the tabernacle; for, See,
says he, that thou make all things according to the pattern which was
showed thee in the mount. (6)But now he has obtained a more excellent
ministry, by so much as he is also mediator of a better covenant,
which has been established upon better promises.

(7)For if that first had been faultless, a place would not have been

And I will be to them a God,
And they shall be to me a people;
(11)And they shall not teach,
Each one his neighbor, and each one his brother,
Saying: Know the Lord;
Because all shall know me, from the least to the greatest;
(12)Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness,
And their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more.

(13)In that he says, A new, he has made the first old. Now that which
is grown old, and worn out with age, is ready to vanish away.

NOW the first had indeed also ordinances of service, and the worldly
sanctuary. (2)For a tabernacle was prepared; the first, wherein is the
lamp-stand, and the table, and the show-bread; which is called holy.
(3)And after the second vail, the tabernacle which is called most
holy, (4)having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant
overlaid on every side with gold, wherein was the golden pot
containing the manna, and the rod of Aaron which budded, and the
tables of the covenant; (5)and abov
