Hebrews 7:11-14

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? 7:12 For when the priesthood changes, a change in the law must come 2  as well. 7:13 Yet the one these things are spoken about belongs to 3  a different tribe, and no one from that tribe 4  has ever officiated at the altar. 7:14 For it is clear that our Lord is descended from Judah, yet Moses said nothing about priests in connection with that tribe.

1 tn Grk “based on it.”

2 tn Grk “of necessity a change in the law comes to pass.”

3 tn Grk “shares in.”

4 tn Grk “from which no one.”
