  • Heb 8:3-9 : 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; therefore it is necessary that this man also have something to offer. 4 For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are priests that offer gifts according to the law; 5 Who serve as an example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, says He, that you make all things according to the pattern shown to you on the mount. 6 But now has he obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then there would have been no occasion sought for the second. 8 For finding fault with them, He says, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in my covenant, and I did not regard them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more. 13 In that He says, A new covenant, He has made the first old. Now that which decays and grows old is ready to vanish away.

  • Heb 7:11-19 : 11 If therefore perfection were through the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change also of the law. 13 For he of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, of which no man attended the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident: for in the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest, 16 Who is made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life. 17 For he testifies, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. 18 For there is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness. 19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by which we draw near to God.
