In context

2And who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.

3And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.

4Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.

5The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”

6Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.
