Hebrews 7:11

11 The people were given the lawn based on a system of priests from the tribe of Levi, but they could not be made perfect through that system. So there was a need for another priest to come, a priest like Melchizedek, not Aaron.

Hebrews 7:11 In-Context

9 We might even say that Levi, who receives a tenth, also paid it when Abraham paid Melchizedek a tenth.
10 Levi was not yet born, but he was in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
11 The people were given the lawn based on a system of priests from the tribe of Levi, but they could not be made perfect through that system. So there was a need for another priest to come, a priest like Melchizedek, not Aaron.
12 And when a different kind of priest comes, the law must be changed, too.
13 We are saying these things about Christ, who belonged to a different tribe. No one from that tribe ever served as a priest at the altar.
