Hebrews 8:2

Hebrews 8:2

A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

a. NLT: There he ministers in the heavenly Tabernacle, the true place of worship that was built by the Lord and not by human hands.

b. NIV: and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.

c. YLT: of the holy places a servant, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord did set up, and not man,

d. Amplified Bible: As officiating Priest, a Minister in the holy places and in the true tabernacle which is erected not by man but by the Lord.

e. Worrell Translation: a Minister of the holy things, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

1. “A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle…”

a. a minister [3011 * leitourgos] [Strong: from a derivative of 2992 and 2041; a public servant, i.e. a functionary in the Temple or Gospel, or (genitive case) a worshipper (of God) or benefactor (of man):--minister(-ed).]

b. of the sanctuary [39 * hagion] [Strong: neuter of 40; a sacred thing (i.e. spot):--holiest (of all), holy place, sanctuary.]

c. and [2532 * kai] [Strong: apparently, a primary particle, having a copulative and sometimes also a cumulative force; and, also, even, so then, too, etc.; often used in connection (or composition) with other particles or small words:--and, also, both, but, even, for, if, or, so, that, then, therefore, when, yet.]

d. of the true [228 * alethinos] [Strong: from 227; truthful:--true.]

e. tabernacle [4633 * skene] [Strong: apparently akin to 4632 and 4639; a tent or cloth hut (literally or figuratively):--habitation, tabernacle.]

1). There is a tabernacle in heaven of which the one that Moses and Israel built is a copy. The ministry of the priests is only a copy of how our great High Priest Jesus ministers in the heavenly tabernacle.

a). Hebrews 8:3-5 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
8:4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

2. “…which the Lord pitched, and not man.”
a. which [3739 * hos] [Strong: including feminine he hay, and neuter ho ho probably a primary word (or perhaps a form of the article 3588); the relatively (sometimes demonstrative) pronoun, who, which, what, that:--one, (an-, the) other, some, that, what, which, who(-m, -se), etc.]]

b. the Lord [2962 * kurios] [Strong: from kuros (supremacy); supreme in authority, i.e. (as noun) controller; by implication, Master (as a respectful title):-- God, Lord, master, Sir.]

c. pitched [4078 * pegnumi] [Strong: a prolonged form of a primary verb (which in its simpler form occurs only as an alternate in certain tenses); to fix ("peg"), i.e. (specially) to set up (a tent):--pitch.]
d. and [2532 * kai] [Strong: apparently, a primary particle, having a copulative and sometimes also a cumulative force; and, also, even, so then, too, etc.; often used in connection (or composition) with other particles or small words:--and, also, both, but, even, for, if, or, so, that, then, therefore, when, yet.]

e. not [3756 * ou] [Strong: also (before a vowel) ouk ook, and (before an aspirate) ouch ookh a primary word; the absolute negative (compare 3361) adverb; no or not:--+ long, nay, neither, never, no (X man), none, (can-)not, + nothing, + special, un(-worthy), when, + without, + yet but.]

f. man [444 * anthropos] [Strong: from 435 and ops (the countenance; from 3700); man-faced, i.e. a human being:--certain, man.]

1). The tabernacle in heaven was not built by man but by God.
