Commentary on Hebrews 8:5
Earthly priests serve 'a copy and shadow of the heavenly things.' The Greek 'hypodeigmati kai skia' emphasizes the earthly sanctuary's derivative, inferior nature. It's not the reality but a teaching model. Moses was warned to make everything 'according to the pattern' shown on the mountain (Exodus 25:40). Reformed typology sees the tabernacle/temple as divinely designed pointers to Christ's perfect priestly ministry in heaven's true sanctuary.
