In the text
Hebrews 7:11If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?Hebrews 7:12For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.Hebrews 7:24But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
