Hebrews 7:23-28 The old priests too had to be numerous, because death prevented their continuing in office.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ The old priests too had to be numerous, because death prevented their continuing in office. ²⁴ But he continues forever, and so his priesthood is untransferable. ²⁵ Therefore, he is able to save forever all who come to God through him, because he lives and intercedes for them forever. ²⁶ Such a high priest we needed—godly, blameless, unstained, removed from sinful men and raised above the very heavens; ²⁷ who does not need, as the old high priests did, to offer sacrifices every day, first for his own sins and then for those of the people—for this last he has done once for all, in offering up himself. ²⁸ For the Law appoints to the high priesthood men full of imperfection; but this utterance about the making of the oath, which came long after the Law, appoints a son, fully qualified to be high priest forever.
