    10For he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.

    11If perfection could have been achieved through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), why was there still a need for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, rather than one according to the order of Aaron?

    12For when there is a change in the priesthood, there must also be a change in the law.

    13For the one about whom these things are spoken belongs to a different tribe, one from which no one has ever served at the altar.

    14For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe, Moses said nothing about priests.

    15And this becomes even more evident if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek,

    16one who has become a priest not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

    17For it is testified: 'You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.'
