¹¹ Again, if perfectness had been by the Levitical priesthood [for it was for this that the people received the law] what further need was there of saying that another priest should be raised up after the order of Melchisedek, and not after the order of Aaron? ¹² For the priesthood being changed there is of necessity a change of the law. ¹³ For he in respect to whom these things are said belonged to another tribe, none of whom gave attendance at the altar. ¹⁴ For it is evident that our Lord sprang from Judah, in respect to which tribe Moses spake nothing of a priesthood. ¹⁵ And this is still more clear, if after the likeness of Melchisedek another priest is raised up, ¹⁶ who is made not according to the law of a commandment concerning flesh, but according to the power of an endless life. ¹⁷ For he testifieth, saying, "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchisedek." ¹⁸ Here then is a disannulment of a preceding commandment on account of its weakness and inutility, ¹⁹ [for the law made nothing perfect] and an introduction of a better hope by which we draw near to God.

⁶ Now then He hath more noble services allotted to him, in as much as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which is established on better promises. ⁷ For if the first covenant had been faultless there would have been no occasion for a second ⁸ for finding fault with them he saith, "Behold days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and the house of Judah. ⁹ not such a covenant as I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt; because they did not abide by that covenant of mine, therefore I took no care of them, saith the Lord. ¹⁰ This is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel, After these days, saith the Lord, adapting my laws to their understanding I will write them on their hearts: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. ¹¹ And they shall no more teach, every one his neighbour, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for all shall know me from the least to the greatest of them; ¹² for I will be merciful to their iniquities, and no more remember their sins and their transgressions." ¹³ By calling this a new covenant he hath antiquated the first. Now that which is antiquated, and grown old, is near being abolished.

⁹ This figurative representation was for the time being, according to which gifts and sacrifices were offered, which cannot make him who performeth service, perfect with regard to the conscience, ¹⁰ they being things imposed barely for meats, and drinks, and divers baptisms, and rules of conduct respecting flesh, until the time of reformation: ¹¹ But Christ being come, a chief priest of the future good things, hath entered into the holies by the greater and more perfect tabernacle; not by one made with hands, that is, not of this creation;

¹ For the law having a shadow of the good things to come and not the very image of those things, can by no means make them who present themselves, perfect for ever by those sacrifices which they offer year after year. ² Otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered? Since they who performed the service, being once purified, would no more have a consciousness of sins. ³ But by these there is an annual remembrance of sins. ⁴ For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. ⁵ Therefore when coming into the world he saith, "Sacrifices and offering? thou didst not desire, but preparedst for me a body. ⁶ In whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin thou hadst no pleasure; ⁷ then I said, Behold I come [in the volume of a book it is written of me] to perform, O God, thy will." ⁸ Having first said, "Sacrifice and offering and whole burnt offerings, and offerings for sins thou didst not desire, nor take pleasure in them," [These were offered according to the law] ⁹ He then said, "Behold I come to perform, O God, thy will" [he taketh away the first that he may establish the second]. ¹⁰ by which will we are sanctified by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once only. ¹¹ Though every priest hath indeed stood performing daily service, and frequently offering the same sacrifices, these can by no means take away sins; ¹² but he having offered for sins one sacrifice, to last for ever, sat down at the right hand of God, ¹³ thenceforth waiting till his enemies are made his footstool. ¹⁴ For by one offering he hath made perfect for ever them who are sanctified. ¹⁵ And this indeed the holy spirit testified! to us; for after saying, ¹⁶ This is the covenant which I will make with Them "After these days, saith the Lord, having adapted my laws to their understandings, I will write them on their minds, ¹⁷ and their sins and iniquities I will remember no more." ¹⁸ Now, where there is a remission of these, there is no more an offering for sin.

²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth, but he hath now announced, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth but the heaven also." ²⁷ Now this expression, "Yet once more" signifieth the removal of the things shaken, as having been made, that the things which are immoveable may remain. ²⁸ As we have therefore received a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have gratitude by which we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and holy awe:
