- Hebrews 8:2 They of Levi were high Priests in an earthly sanctuary, but Christ is in the heavenly.
- Hebrews 8:2 Of heaven.
- Hebrews 8:2 They of Levi exercised their Priesthood in a frail tabernacle, but Christ beareth about with him a far other tabernacle, to wit, his body which God himself made to be everlasting, as it shall afterward be declared, Heb. 9:11.
- Hebrews 8:2 Of his body.

And to what purpose should the patterns serve when the true and original example is present.
