For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my son! Today I have fathered you"? And in another place he says, "I will be his father and he will be my son."

And in another place, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands:

but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

he pointed out another time in the words, which were spoken by David, a long time after their going into Canaan, in the passage just now quoted, "today since ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts."

For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.

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

of which we shall treat another time, if God permit.

Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.

This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,

Behind the second veil there was another tabernacle [the inner one or second section] known as the Holy of Holies,

For we know who it is that has said, "Vengeance belongs to me! I will pay back!" and in another place, "The Lord will be the judge of his people!"

Continue to look after one another, that no one fails to gain God's spiritual blessing; or some evil like a bitter root may spring up and trouble you, and many of you be contaminated by it --

to a trumpet's blast, or to a voice that made the hearers beg that not another word be spoken to them.

Continue to love [one another] as brothers.
