    13for he of whom these things are said in another tribe hath had part, of whom no one gave attendance at the altar,

    14for `it is' evident that out of Judah hath arisen our Lord, in regard to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

    15And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the similitude of Melchisedek there doth arise another priest,

    16who came not according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,

    17for He doth testify -- `Thou `art' a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;'

    18for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness,

    19(for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw nigh to God.

    27who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself;

    1And the sum concerning the things spoken of `is': we have such a chief priest, who did sit down at the right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens,

    2of the holy places a servant, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord did set up, and not man,

    3for every chief priest to offer both gifts and sacrifices is appointed, whence `it is' necessary for this one to have also something that he may offer;

    4for if, indeed, he were upon earth, he would not be a priest -- (there being the priests who are offering according to the law, the gifts,

    5who unto an example and shadow do serve of the heavenly things, as Moses hath been divinely warned, being about to construct the tabernacle, for `See (saith He) thou mayest make all things according to the pattern that was shewn to thee in the mount;') --

    6and now he hath obtained a more excellent service, how much also of a better covenant is he mediator, which on better promises hath been sanctioned,

    7for if that first were faultless, a place would not have been sought for a second.
