Hebrews 8:5

Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things; that is, who minister to the earthly tabernacle, which is but a type and shadow of the true tabernacle above where Christ ministers.

As Moses was admonished; Ex 25:40.

According to the pattern showed to thee in the mount; apparently a representation made to Moses in vision of a glorious structure after which he was to model the earthly sanctuary with its furniture, the tabernacle seen in vision being itself a type of the true spiritual realities of heaven. Compare Ezekiel's vision of a city and temple, chapters Eze 40.1-48.35, and John's vision of the new Jerusalem, in Revelation, chapters 21, 22.
