¶ [It was] therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

It was therefore {G3767} necessary {G318} that the patterns {G5262} of things {G3303} in {G1722} the heavens {G3772} should be purified {G2511} with these {G5125}; but {G1161} the heavenly things {G2032} themselves {G846} with better {G2909} sacrifices {G2378} than {G3844} these {G5025}.

Now this is how the copies of the heavenly things had to be purified, but the heavenly things themselves require better sacrifices than these.

So it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
