1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

1 Capitulum autem super ea quæ dicuntur: Talem habemus pontificem, qui consedit in dextera sedis magnitudinis in cælis,

2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and

ℵB omit

not man.

2 sanctorum minister, et tabernaculi veri, quod fixit Dominus, et non homo.

3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

3 Omnis enim pontifex ad offerendum munera, et hostias constituitur: unde necesse est et hunc habere aliquid, quod offerat.

4 For if

ℵBA ⟨If therefore⟩

he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests

ℵBA omit

that offer gifts according to the law:

4 Si ergo esset super terram, nec esset sacerdos: cum essent qui offerent secundum legem munera,

5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly 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 pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

5 qui exemplari, et umbræ deserviunt cælestium. Sicut responsum est Moysi, cum consummaret tabernaculum: Vide (inquit) omnia facito secundum exemplar, quod tibi ostensum est in monte.

6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

6 Nunc autem melius sortitus est ministerium, quanto et melioris testamenti mediator est, quod in melioribus repromissionibus sancitum est.

7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second

B ⟨another⟩

.

7 Nam si illud prius culpa vacasset, non utique secundi locus inquireretur.

8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

8 Vituperans enim eos dicit: Ecce dies venient, dicit Dominus: et consummabo super domum Israël, et super domum Juda, testamentum novum,

9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day

B ⟨days⟩

when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

9 non secundum testamentum quod feci patribus eorum in die qua apprehendi manum eorum ut educerem illos de terra Ægypti: quoniam ipsi non permanserunt in testamento meo: et ego neglexi eos, dicit Dominus.

10 For this is the

A ⟨my⟩

covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts

ℵ ⟨upon their heart⟩

: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

10 Quia hoc est testamentum quod disponam domui Israël post dies illos, dicit Dominus: dando leges meas in mentem eorum, et in corde eorum superscribam eas: et ero eis in Deum, et ipsi erunt mihi in populum:

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour

ℵBA ⟨fellow-citizen⟩

, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

11 et non docebit unusquisque proximum suum, et unusquisque fratrem suum, dicens: Cognosce Dominum: quoniam omnes scient me a minore usque ad majorem eorum:

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities

ℵB omit

will I remember no more.

12 quia propitius ero iniquitatibus eorum, et peccatorum eorum jam non memorabor.

13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

13 Dicendo autem novum: veteravit prius. Quod autem antiquatur, et senescit, prope interitum est.
