Hebrews 7:11-17 If indeed, therefore, there had been, a perfecting through means of the Levitical priesthood,––for, the people, thereon, have had based a code of laws, what further need, according to the rank of Melchizedek, for a different priest to be raised up, and, not according to the rank of Aaron, to be designated?

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ If indeed, therefore, there had been, a perfecting through means of the Levitical priesthood,––for, the people, thereon, have had based a code of laws, what further need, according to the rank of Melchizedek, for a different priest to be raised up, and, not according to the rank of Aaron, to be designated? ¹² For, seeing there is to be a change of the priesthood, of necessity, of law too, a change cometh. ¹³ For, he as to whom these things are said, with a different tribe, hath taken partnership, from which, no one, hath given attendance at the altar; ¹⁴ For it is, very evident, that out of Judah hath sprung our Lord,––respecting which tribe, concerning priests, nothing did Moses speak, ¹⁵ And, yet more abundantly evident it is––that, according to the likeness of Melchizedek, there is to be raised up, a different priest. ¹⁶ Who, not according to a law of commandment dealing with the flesh, hath arisen, but according to the power of an indissoluble life; ¹⁷ For it is witnessed––Thou, art a priest, age–abidingly, according to the rank of Melchizedek.
