the oath which he spoke to Abraham, our father,

to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,

And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,

to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins,

For finding fault with them, he said, “Behold, the days come”, says the Lord, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they didn’t continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says the Lord.

But Messiah having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in the same way with the blood.
