Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
The priesthood being changed (metatiqemenhv thv ierosunhv). Genitive absolute with present passive participle of metatiqhmi, old word to transfer (Galatians 1:6).
A change (metaqesiv). Old substantive from metatiqhmi. In N.T. only in Heb. (Hebrews 7:12; Hebrews 11:5; Hebrews 12:27). God's choice of another kind of priesthood for his Son, left the Levitical line off to one side, forever discounted, passed by "the order of Aaron" (thn tacin Aarwn).
