A minister of the holy places and of the true tent that the Lord set up, not man — Christ serves not as a priest under human structures but in the heavenly tabernacle erected by divine action itself. The true tent (skēnē alētheia) stands in radical contrast to the earthly copy; reality versus shadow is the epistemological distinction running throughout. By identifying the heavenly sanctuary as the Lord's own construction, the author establishes that true worship transcends all human religious apparatus.
