Hebrews 7:11

Context
Jesus and the Priesthood of Melchizedek

7:11 So if perfection had in fact been possible through the Levitical priesthood – for on that basis 1  the people received the law – what further need would there have been for another priest to arise, said to be in the order of Melchizedek and not in Aaron’s order?

Hebrews 9:18

Context
9:18 So even the first covenant was inaugurated with blood. 2 

Hebrews 11:20

Context
11:20 By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the future.

1 tn Grk “based on it.”

2 sn The Greek text reinforces this by negating the opposite (“not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood”), but this double negation is not used in contemporary English.
