As also, in a different place, he saith - Thou, art a priest, age-abidingly, according to the rank of Melchizedek:

Being addressed by God as high-priest - according to the rank of Melchizedek.

Where a forerunner in our behalf hath entered, even Jesus, who, according to the rank of Melchizedek, hath become, a high-priest unto times age-abiding.

For, this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him, -

For, even then, was he, in the loins of his father, when, Melchizedek, met him.

If indeed, therefore, there had been, a perfecting through means of the Levitical priesthood, - for, the people, thereon, have had based a code of laws, what further need, according to the rank of Melchizedek, for a different priest to be raised up, and, not according to the rank of Aaron, to be designated?

And, yet more abundantly evident it is - that, according to the likeness of Melchizedek, there is to be raised up, a different priest.

For it is witnessed - Thou, art a priest, age-abidingly, according to the rank of Melchizedek.
