Hebrews 8:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible
4 Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who (A)offer the gifts according to the Law; 5 who serve (B)a copy and (C)shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses [a]was (D)warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, “(E)See,” He says, “that you make all things according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.” 6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the (F)mediator of (G)a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

Hebrews 8:4-6
New International Version
4 If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.(A) 5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy(B) and shadow(C) of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned(D) when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”[a](E) 6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant(F) of which he is mediator(G) is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.
