NASB
"For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning priests."
— Hebrews 7:14, NASB
“For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.”
“For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah; as to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests. ”
“For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.”
“For it is clear that our Lord is descended from Judah, yet Moses said nothing about priests in connection with that tribe.”
“For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.”
“Because it is clear that our Lord comes out of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests from that tribe.”
“For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.”
Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron?
For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also.
For the one concerning whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek,
who has become such not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.
For it is attested of Him, "YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK."
