Hebrews 7:15 It is yet far more evident. Still more clear than that the new High Priest should be of the tribe of Judah. That could be shown by an argument, because it was affirmed (1) that the Christ was to be the Son of David; (2) David was of Judah; (3) The Christ was to be a priest. There ariseth another priest. On the other hand, without argument, is the clear affirmation that there was to be a new priesthood, a priest "after the similitude of Melchizedec".
