Hebrews 8:4-6

New Testament for Everyone

⁴ If he were on earth, he wouldn’t even be a priest, since there already are priests who make offerings in accordance with the law. ⁵ They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly realities, in line with what Moses was told, when he was getting ready to construct the Tabernacle: “take care that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.” ⁶ Now, you see, Jesus has obtained a vastly superior ministry. In the same way, he is the mediator of a better covenant, which is established on better promises.
