thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee -- God, thy God -- with oil of gladness above thy partners;'

for of more glory than Moses hath this one been counted worthy, inasmuch as more honour than the house hath he who doth build it,

again He doth limit a certain day, 'To-day,' (in David saying, after so long a time,) as it hath been said, 'To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts,'

and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he hath blessed,

and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, hath paid tithes,

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

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

by so much of a better covenant hath Jesus become surety,

and he, because of his remaining -- to the age, hath the priesthood not transient,

who 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;

who 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;') --

and 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,

in the saying 'new,' He hath made the first old, and what doth become obsolete and is old is nigh disappearing.

the Holy Spirit this evidencing that not yet hath been manifested the way of the holy places, the first tabernacle having yet a standing;

whence not even the first apart from blood hath been initiated,

since it had behoved him many times to suffer from the foundation of the world, but now once, at the full end of the ages, for putting away of sin through his sacrifice, he hath been manifested;

then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;'

and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins.

for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those sanctified;

and testify to us also doth the Holy Spirit, for after that He hath said before,

Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward,

and 'the righteous by faith shall live,' and 'if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,'

By faith Abraham hath offered up Isaac, being tried, and the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the promises,

whose voice the earth shook then, and now hath he promised, saying, 'Yet once -- I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven;'

Without covetousness the behaviour, being content with the things present, for He hath said, 'No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake thee,'
