Hebrews 6:20-7:3
where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.Now this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, met Abraham as he was returning from defeating the kings and blessed him.To him also Abraham apportioned a tithe of everything. His name first means king of righteousness, then king of Salem, that is, king of peace.Without father, without mother, without genealogy, he has neither beginning of days nor end of life but is like the son of God, and he remains a priest for all time.

With what should I enter the LORD’s presence? With what should I bow before the sovereign God? Should I enter his presence with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?

Hebrews 7:10-22
For he was still in his ancestor Abraham’s loins when Melchizedek met him.So if perfection had in fact been possible through the Levitical priesthood– for on that basis 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?For when the priesthood changes, a change in the law must come as well.Yet the one these things are spoken about belongs to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever officiated at the altar.For it is clear that our Lord is descended from Judah, yet Moses said nothing about priests in connection with that tribe.And this is even clearer if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek,who has become a priest not by a legal regulation about physical descent but by the power of an indestructible life.For here is the testimony about him:“ You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”On the one hand a former command is set aside because it is weak and useless,for the law made nothing perfect. On the other hand a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.And since this was not done without a sworn affirmation– for the others have become priests without a sworn affirmation,but Jesus did so with a sworn affirmation by the one who said to him,“ The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind,‘ You are a priest forever’”–accordingly Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
