I will put my laws in their minds and I will inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God and they will be my people. 11 “And there will be no need at all for each one to teach his countryman or each one to teach his brother saying,‘Know the Lord,’ since they will all know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 “For I will be merciful toward their evil deeds, and their sins I will remember no longer.”

    15And this is even clearer if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek,

    16who has become a priest not by a legal regulation about physical descent but by the power of an indestructible life.

    17For here is the testimony about him:“You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

    18On the one hand a former command is set aside because it is weak and useless,

    19for the law made nothing perfect. On the other hand a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

    20And since this was not done without a sworn affirmation– for the others have become priests without a sworn affirmation,

    21but Jesus did so with a sworn affirmation by the one who said to him,“The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind,‘You are a priest forever’”–

    11Jesus and the Priesthood of Melchizedek So if perfection had in fact been possible through the Levitical priesthood– for on that basis the people received the law– what further need would there have been for another priest to arise, said to be in the order of Melchizedek and not in Aaron’s order?
