    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.

    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;

    5Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain.

    6But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.
