Hebrews 8:5
Who serve unto the example and shadow. The service of the priests
and of the temple is after the example of, and a shadowing forth of
"heavenly things".
See, saith he, [that] thou make all things according to the pattern
shewed to thee in the mount. A pattern was shown Moses. All must be
made after that pattern (Exodus 25:40). Hence the tabernacle made
according to that plan shadowed forth heavenly things. The earthly high
priest was a type of the great high priest in the heavens.
