Ibrani 8:6

8:6 But ¹  now Jesus ²  has obtained a superior ministry, since ³  the covenant that he mediates is also better and is enacted ⁴  on better promises. ⁵ 

Ibrani 9:21

9:21 And both the tabernacle and all the utensils of worship he likewise sprinkled with blood.

[8:6]  ¹ sn The Greek text indicates a contrast between vv. 4-5 and v. 6 that is difficult to render in English: Jesus’ status in the old order of priests (vv. 4-5) versus his superior ministry (v. 6).

[8:6]  ² tn Grk “he”; in the translation the referent (Jesus) has been specified for clarity.

[8:6]  ³ tn Grk “to the degree that.”

[8:6]  ⁴ tn Grk “which is enacted.”

[8:6]  ⁵ sn This linkage of the change in priesthood with a change in the law or the covenant goes back to Heb 7:12, 22 and is picked up again in Heb 9:6-15 and 10:1-18.
