Hebrews 8:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ They offer worship in a sanctuary that is a sketch and shadow of the heavenly one; for Moses, when he was about to erect the tent,^[a] was warned, “See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.” ⁶ But Jesus^[b] has now obtained a more excellent ministry, and to that degree he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted through better promises. ⁷ For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one.
