Hebrews 8:4-5

Jesus, High Priest of a Better Covenant

4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. 5 They serve z a copy and a shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, b "See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain."
