Covenant » The second covenant
And the God of peace, having brought up from the dead, the great Shepherd of the sheep, in the blood of the eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus Christ,
Behold the days coming, says Jehovah, and I cut out the house of Israel and the house of Judah a new covenant Not according to the covenant which I cut out with their fathers in the day I laid hold upon their hand to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt; which they brake my covenant, and I was Lord over them, says Jehovah. For this the covenant that I will cut out with the house of Israel: After those days, says Jehovah; I gave my law in the midst of them, and upon their heart will I write it; and I was to them for God, and they shall be to me for a people. read more.
And they shall teach no more a man his neighbor and a man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah: for they all shall know me to their small and even to their great, says Jehovah: for I will forgive their iniquity, and to their sin I will have no more remembrance

For if truly he were upon earth, he would not be a priest, there being priests bringing in gifts according to the law; Who serve the pattern and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was given an intimation of the divine will, being about to complete the tent: for, See, says he, thou make all things according to the type shewed thee in the mount. And now he has attained a more distinguished office, in how much also he is mediator of a better covenant, which was legislated upon better promises. read more.
For if that first was faultless, then place was not to be sought for the second. For rebuking them, he says, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, and I will complete for the house of Israel and for the house of Judah a new covenant: Not according to the covenant which I made to their fathers in the day of my taking their hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; for they remained not in my covenant, and I heeded them not, says the Lord. For this the covenant which I will set to the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; giving my laws into their mind, and upon their hearts will I write them: and I will be to them for God, and they shall be to me for a people: And they should not teach each his neighbor, and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from their little even to their great ones. For I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins and their injustices will I remember no more. In saying new, he has made the first old. And that made old and becoming weak is near destruction.

For ye have not come to the mount being handled, and burned with fire, and to duskiness, and to darkness, and to a violent storm, And to the sound of the trumpet, and the voice of words; which they, having heard, implored that the word be not put before them: (For they did not bear that being assigned, And if a beast should touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or shall be pierced with a missile weapon: read more.
And so dreadful was that being made to appear, Moses said, I am terrified and trembling:) But ye have come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, To the assembly of people, and church of the firstborn, transcribed in the heavens, and to God the Judge of all, and. to the spirits of the just perfected, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, speaking better things than Abel.

The high priest » Inferior to Christ in » Being of the order of aaron
Where the forerunner, Jesus, went in for us, according to the order of Melchisedec, being a high priest forever.
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. read more.

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.
