18 For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of aits weakness and unprofitableness,
19 for athe law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of ba better hope, through which cwe draw near to God.
Greatness of the New Priest
20 And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath
21 (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him:
a“The Lord has sworn
And will not relent,
‘You are a priest1 forever
According to the order of Melchizedek’ ”),
a“The Lord has sworn
And will not relent,
‘You are a priest1 forever
According to the order of Melchizedek’ ”),
22 by so much more Jesus has become a1 surety of a abetter covenant.
23 Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing.
