Hebrews 8:3 in Context — Hebrews 8

1 Le point capital de ce qui vient d’être dit, c’est que nous avons un tel souverain sacrificateur, qui s’est assis à la droite du trône de la majesté divine dans les cieux,

2 comme ministre du sanctuaire et du véritable tabernacle, qui a été dressé par le Seigneur et non par un homme.

4 S’il était sur la terre, il ne serait pas même sacrificateur, puisque là sont ceux qui présentent les offrandes selon la loi

5 (lesquels célèbrent un culte, image et ombre des choses célestes, selon que Moïse en fut divinement averti lorsqu’il allait construire le tabernacle: Aie soin, lui fut-il dit, de faire tout d’après le modèle qui t’a été montré sur la montagne).
