And as much as not without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath: (For they truly without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath became priests; but he with the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath by him, saying to him, The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec:) According to this, Jesus has become security of a better covenant. read more.
And they truly are become many priests, by reason of death being hindered from remaining: And he, because he remains forever, has an inviolable priesthood. Wherefore he is able to save entirely those coming to God by him, always living to supplicate for them. For such a chief priest became us, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and being higher than the heavens; Who has no necessity according to the day, as the chief priests, before to bring up sacrifices for their own sins, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having brought up himself. For the law establishes men chief priests having weakness; but the word of the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath, after the law, the Son, having been perfected forever.

Addressed by God the chief priest according to the order of Melchisedec.

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, having met Abraham returning from the cutting off of the kings, and praised him; To whom also Abraham divided a tenth from all; (first truly interpreted King of justice, and then also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; Without father, without mother, of unknown origin, neither having beginning of days, nor end of life; and likened to the Son of God;) remains a priest perpetually. read more.
And behold how great this one, to whom also Abraham the patriarch gave the tenth of the first fruits. And they truly of the sons of Levi, receiving the office of priest, have a command to take a tenth part from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, although having come out of the loins of Abraham: And he not having his descent traced from them received a tenth from Abraham, and praised him having the promises. And without all controversy the less is praised of the better. And here truly dying men receive tenths; but there he, bearing witness that he lives. And as the word says, through Abraham, also Levi, receiving tenths, has paid a tenth. For yet was he in his father's loins, when Melchisedec met him. If truly therefore completion were by the Levitical priesthood, (for the people received legislation by it,) what further need according to the order of Melchisedec for another priest to be raised, and not according to the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being transferred, of necessity also is a transposition of law. For he of whom these things are said partook of another tribe, of which none held to the altar. For it is manifest that our Lord has sprung out of Judah; to which tribe Moses spake nothing of the priesthood. And it is yet more abundantly manifest: that according to the resemblance of Melchisedec has another priest risen, Who according to the law of a fleshly command was not born, but according to the power of an indestructible life. For he testifies, Thou a priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec. For there is truly an annulling of the command going before by its weakness and unprofitableness. (For the law completed nothing,) but the bringing in of a better hope; by which we draw near to God. And as much as not without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath: (For they truly without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath became priests; but he with the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath by him, saying to him, The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec:)

The oath which he sware to Abraham our father,

For God promising to Abraham, since he had none greater to swear by, sware by himself, Saying, Truly will I praise thee, and multiplying will I multiply thee.

For I sware in mine anger if they shall come in to my rest

Jehovah of armies sware by his soul: That if I filled thee with men as with locusts, and they struck up a shout against thee.

And to whom sware he that they could not come into his rest, if not to them having been disobedient?


To establish the oath which I sware to your fathers, to give to them a land flowing milk and honey, as this day. And I shall answer and say, Verily, O Jehovah.

For by myself did I swear, says Jehovah, that Bozrah shall be for a desolation, for a reproach, and for a waste, and for a curse; and all her cities shall be for wastes forever.

For the law establishes men chief priests having weakness; but the word of the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath, after the law, the Son, having been perfected forever.


And he will say, By myself did I swear, says Jehovah, for because that thou didst this word, and didst not spare thy son, thine only.

Once did I swear in my holy place if I shall lie to David.

Which he cut out with Abraham, and his oath to Isaak.

For we having believed come into the rest, as he said, As I sware in my wrath, if they shall come into my rest: although the works having been from the foundation of the world.

Jehovah sware the truth to David; he will not turn back from it: from the fruit of thy belly I will set upon the throne to thee.

As I aware in my wrath, If they shall come into my rest.)

And sware by him living for ever and ever, who created the heaven, and all in it, and earth, and all things in it, and the sea, and all in it, that time shall be no more:

By myself I sware the word, justice went forth out of my mouth, and shall not turn back, That to me every knee shall bend, every tongue shall swear.

And if ye will not bear these words, by myself I sware, says Jehovah, that this house shall be for a desolation.

(For they truly without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath became priests; but he with the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath by him, saying to him, The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec:)


(For they truly without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath became priests; but he with the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath by him, saying to him, The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec:)
