17 For it is testified, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

18 For there is also a repeal of the former commandment, because of its weakness and uselessness,

19 for the Law has brought nothing to perfection, — and the introduction of a new hope, by which we draw near to God.

20 And since they were not without an oath, for they became priests without an oath,

21 And he with an oath in the mouth of Him who saith unto him, The Lord has sworn, and shall not repent, Thou art a priest for ever,

5 которые служат отображению и тени небесного согласно тому, как было указано Моисею, когда он приступал к совершению скинии: смотри, говорит Бог, сделай всё по образцу, показанному тебе на горе.

6 Теперь же Он получил тем отличнейшее служение, чем лучшего Он посредник завета, который узаконен на лучших обещаниях.

7 Ибо, если бы тот первый завет был безукоризнен, не искали бы места другому.

8 Ибо, укоряя тех, Он говорит: Вот приходят дни, говорит Господь, и заключу с домом Израиля и с домом Иуды завет новый:
