has in these last days spoken to us by a Son whom he appointed to be the heir of everything and through whom he also made the universe.

Therefore, since the children have flesh and blood, he himself also shared the same things, so that by his death he might destroy the one who has the power of death (that is, the Devil)

As he also says in another place, "You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek."

Abraham gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything. In the first place, his name means "king of righteousness," and then he is also king of Salem, that is, "king of peace."

The descendants of Levi who accept the priesthood have a commandment in the Law to collect a tenth from the people, that is, from their own brothers, even though they are also descendants of Abraham.

When a change in the priesthood takes place, there must also be a change in the Law.

The Holy Spirit also assures us of this, for he said:

By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger, living in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who also inherited the same promise,

At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also heaven."

Continue to remember those in prison as if you were in prison with them, as well as those who are mistreated, since they also are only mortal.

That is why Jesus, in order to sanctify the people by his own blood, also suffered outside the city gate.
