For this Melchisedec, king of

And verily they that are
of the
sons of
Levi, who receive the office of the
priesthood, have a
commandment to take
tithes of the
people according
to the
law, that
is, of
their brethren, though they
come out
of the
loins of
Abraham:

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?
