Now if there were perfection through the Levitical priesthood, (and it was under it that the people received the Law) why was it still necessary for another kind of priest to arise, after the order of Melchizedek, instead of being reckoned according to the order of Aaron?

He who is thus described belonged to another tribe, not one member of which has ever served at the altar.

And this is yet more abundantly clear if, after the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another Priest,

and let us consider one another, to provoke unto love and good works;

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the custom of some, but exhorting one another; all the more as you behold the Day drawing near.
