Malki-Tzedek king of Shalem brought out bread and wine: and he was Kohen of El `Elyon.
The LORD has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: *I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a Kohen on his throne; and the counsel of shalom shall be between them both.
God is not a man, that he should lie, nor the son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?
As he says also in another place, *You are a Kohen forever, after the order of Malki-Tzedek.*
where as a forerunner Yeshua entered for us, having become a Kohen Gadol forever after the order of Malki-Tzedek.
Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the Torah), what further need was there for another Kohen to arise after the order of Malki-Tzedek, and not be called after the order of Aharon?
for it is testified, *You are a Kohen forever, according to the order of Malki-Tzedek.*
(for they indeed have been made Kohanim without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, *The Lord swore and will not change his mind, 'You are a Kohen forever, according to the order of Malki-Tzedek.'*
For the Torah appoints men as Kohenim Gedolim who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the Torah appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.
and he made us to be a Kingdom, Kohanim to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amein.
