of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.} For he of whom these things are spoken pertains to a different tribe, of which no one has given attendance at the altar.Z- For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there comes also a change of law.{ If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there that a different priest should arise, after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?N for he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him.V% And so to speak, Levi also, who receives tithes, has paid tithes in Abraham;kOAnd here indeed men who die receive tithes;

for he is a child.^r5 For though ye ought, on account of the time, to be teachers, ye again have need that some one teach you the first principles of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.fqE Of whom we have much to say, and hard to be explained, since ye have become dull of hearing.Ep called by God, High Priest, after the order of Melchizedek.Yo+ and being perfected became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him;Yn+though a Son yet learned from what he suffered the [required] obedience,Fmwho, in the days of his flesh offering up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and being heard on account of his godly fear,glGas also in another place, he says: Thou art a priest forever, After the order of Melchizedek;kSo also Christ did not glorify himself to be made high priest, but he who spoke to him: Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee;\j1And no one takes to himself the honor, but being called by God, as was also Aaron.kiOand on account of it he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to make offering for sins.ohWbeing able to bear with the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is encompassed with infirmity;#g AFOR every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;fyLet us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.'eGFor we have not a high priest who can not be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but who has in all points been tempted in like manner, without sin. d Having therefore a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.c# And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight; but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.ab; For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.taa Let us therefore endeavor to enter into that rest, that no one may fall into the same example of unbelief.d`A For he that entered into his rest, himself rested from his works, as God did from his own.E_ So then, there remains a Sabbath-rest to the people of God.b^=For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not, after this, have spoken of another day.']Ghe limits a certain day, To-day, (saying in David, after so long a time, as has before been said,) To-day, if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.\/Since then it remains that some do enter into it, and they to whom the glad tidings were first preached entered not in because of unbelief, again>[wand in this again: They shall not enter into my rest.}ZsFor he has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day thus: And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;I And again: I will put my trust in him.

For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him.b8=Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst him with glory and honor; 7But one in a certain place testified, saying: What is man, that thou art mindful of him, Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?e6CFor not to the angels did he put in subjection the world to come, of which we are speaking.5God also bearing witness, with signs and wonders, and divers miracles, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?4'how shall we escape, having neglected so great a salvation; which began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard,3For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received just retribution,y2 mON this account, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things heard, lest haply we should let them slip.1 yAre they not all ministering spirits, sent forth for ministration, for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?t0 c But to whom of the angels has he ever said: Sit on my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool./ y And as a vesture thou wilt fold them up, and they will be changed; But thou art the same, And thy years will not fail._. 9 They will perish, but thou remainest; And they all will become old, as does a garment,n- W and: Thou, Lord, in the beginning, didst found the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands;,  Thou lovedst righteousness, and hatedst iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, anointed thee, With the oil of gladness, above thy fellows;z+ obut of the Son: Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever; A sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom;b* ?And of the angels he says: Who makes his angels winds, And his ministers a flame of fire;) yBut when he has again brought in the first-begotten into the world, he says And let all the angels of God worship him.#( AFor to whom of the angels said he ever: Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee; and again: I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son.k' Qhaving become so much superior to the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they.h& Kwho, being the brightness of his glory and the impress of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made a cleansing of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;z% oin these last days spoke to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds;\$ 5GOD, who in many parts and in many ways spoke of old to the fathers by the prophets,?# {The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.;" sMark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-laborers.G!
