“For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.”
For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever — the conclusion returns to the law-oath contrast: the law appointed mortal, weak men as priests; but God's oath appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever. The shift from law to oath, from the mortal to the divine, from the weak to the perfect, encapsulates the entire argument for Christ's superiority.
