    14Because it is clear that our Lord comes out of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests from that tribe.

    15And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,

    16That is to say, not made by a law based on the flesh, but by the power of a life without end:

    17For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

    8Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

    9And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;

    10Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.

    11Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?

    12Because if the priests are changed, it is necessary to make a change in the law.

    3Being without father or mother, or family, having no birth or end to his life, being made like the Son of God, is a priest for ever.

    4Now see how great this man was, to whom our father Abraham gave a tenth part of what he had got in the fight.

    5And it is true that by the law, those of the sons of Levi who have the position of priests may take a tenth part of the people's goods; that is to say, they take it from their brothers though these are the sons of Abraham.

    6But this man, who was not of their family, took the tenth from Abraham, and gave a blessing to him to whom God had given his undertaking.

    1Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,

    2As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, not by man.

    3Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

    4If he had been on earth he would not have been a priest at all, because there are other priests who make the offerings ordered by the law;
