Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."

Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire."

But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.

Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice,

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

About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.

We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,

"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

"This is the covenant that I will make with them: 'After those days,' says the Lord, 'I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;'" then he says,
