1THEN verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
2For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
3And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
4Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
5And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
6Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
7But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
8The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
9Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
1¶ Then verily the first Couenant had also ‖ordinances of diuine Seruice, and a worldly Sanctuary.
2For there was a Tabernacle made, the first, wherein was the Candlesticke, and the Table, and the Shewbread, which is called ‖the Sanctuarie.
3And after the second vaile, the Tabernacle which is called y e Holiest of all:
4Which had the golden Censor, and the Arke of the Couenant ouerlayed round about with gold, wherein was the Golden pot that had Manna, and Aarons rod that budded, and the Tables of the Couenant.
5And ouer it the Cherubims of glory shadowing the Mercyseat; of which we cannot now speake particularly.

- Hebrews 7:11–27Rank 25 from verse 11
11If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
13For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
15And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
16Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
17For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
18For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
19For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
20And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
21(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
22By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
23And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
24But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
26For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
11If therefore perfection were by the Leuiticall Priesthood (for vnder it the people receiued the Law) what further neede was there, that another Priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not bee called after the order of Aaron?
12For the Priesthood being chaunged, there is made of necessitie a change also of the Law.
13For hee of whom these things are spoken, pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gaue attendance at the Altar.
14For it is euident that our Lorde sprang out of Iuda, of which tribe Moses spake nothing cōcerning Priesthood.
15And it is yet farre more euident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another Priest,
16Who is made not after the Law of a carnall commandement, but after the power of an endles life.
17For hee testifieth; Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchisedec.
18For there is verily a disanulling of the commandement going before, for the weakenesse and vnprofitablenesse thereof.
19For the Law made nothing perfect, ‖but the bringing in of a better hope did: by the which wee draw nigh vnto God.
20And in as much as not without an othe he was made Priest,
21(For those Priests were made ‖without an oath: but this with an oath, by him y t said vnto him, *The Lord sware and wil not repent, thou art a Priest for euer after the order of Melchisedec)
22By so much was Iesus made a suertie of a better Testament.
23And they truely were many Priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death.
24But this man because hee continueth euer, hath an ‖vnchangeable Priesthood.
25Wherefore he is able also to saue them ‖to the vttermost, that come vnto God by him, seeing hee euer liueth to make intercession for them.
26For such an high Priest became vs, who is holy, harmelesse, vndefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher then the heauens.
27Who needeth not daily, as those high Priests, to offer vp sacrifice, first for his owne sins and then for the peoples: for this he did once, when he offered vp himselfe.

1BEHOLD, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.
