* 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 ? * For the priesthood being changed , there is made of necessity a change also of the law . * For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe , of which no man gave attendance at the altar . * For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda ; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood . * And it is yet far more evident : for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest , * Who is made , not after the law of a carnal commandment , but after the power of an endless life . * For he testifieth , Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec .
