“ Have them make a sacred tent for me. I will live among them.

They deal only with food and drink and different kinds of special washings. They are rules people had to obey only until the new covenant came.But Christ came to be the high priest of the good things already here now. When he came, he went through the greater and more perfect holy tent. This tent was not made with human hands. In other words, it is not a part of this creation.

He serves in the sacred tent. The Lord set up the true holy tent. A mere human being did not set it up.

Suppose nothing had been wrong with that first covenant. Then no one would have looked for another covenant.

They must not leave any of it until morning. They must not break any of its bones. When they celebrate the Passover Feast, they must follow all the rules.

“‘ The priests must do what I require. But suppose they make fun of what I require. Then they will become guilty and die. I am the Lord. I make them holy.

What if they are ashamed of everything they have done? Then show them all the plans of the temple. Explain to them how it is laid out. Tell them about its exits and entrances. Show them exactly what it will look like. Give them all its rules and laws. Write everything down so they can see it. Then they will be faithful to its plan. And they will obey all its rules.

Do exactly what I require. When you arrive in Canaan, do not follow any of the practices of its people. I hate the things they do. Do not make yourselves“ unclean” by doing them. I am the Lord your God.’ ”

Do not do what the people of Egypt do. You used to live there. And do not do what the people of Canaan do. I am bringing you into their land. Do not follow their practices.Obey my laws. Be careful to follow my rules. I am the Lord your God.

Make sure no one controls you. They will try to control you by using false reasoning that has no meaning. Their ideas depend on human teachings. They also depend on the basic spiritual powers of this world. They don’t depend on Christ.

Both of them did what was right in the sight of God. They obeyed all the Lord’s commands and rules faithfully.

God called this covenant“ new.” So he has done away with the first one. And what is out of date and has been done away with will soon disappear.
