1. Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

                2. For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table,
                and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
                3. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

                                4. Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant

11. "And they will certainly not teach each his fellow citizen and each his brother saying, 'Know the Lord',

                for all of them will know me from small to great,

                12. for I will be merciful to the wrongdoings of them and the sins of them I will certainly remember no longer".

13. In saying "new," he makes old the first, and what is becoming old and aging near to disappearing.

8. For finding fault with them, he says,

                "Behold days are coming, says the Lord,
                when I will complete with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah

                                a new covenant

                                9. not according to the covenant,

                which I made with their fathers on the day

of my taking hold of their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt"

7. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9. Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day
when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt;
because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

26. For such a high priest is indeed fitting for us—devout, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, having become higher than the heavens,
27. who does not have each day a necessity, just as the high priests,

                first on behalf of his own sins to offer up sacrifices

                                then of the people,

                for this he did once for all having offered up himself.

18. For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
19. For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
20. And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
21. (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

15. if according to the likeness of melchizedek

                a different priest arises,

                                16. who not according to a law of a fleshly commandment

                                                has come about

                                but according to the power of an indestructible life.

                17. For it is testified that "you are a priest forever

according to the order of Melchizedek".

11. If 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?
12. For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

                13. For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe,
                of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

6. took a tithe from Abraham

                and blessed the one having the promises.

                7. Without any dispute the inferior is blessed by the superior.

8. And here, on the one hand, men who die receive tithes, but, there, on the other hand, one is testified that he goes on living. 9. And so to speak, through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, was tithed.

                neither beginning of days,

                nor end of life;
