English Standard Version
22 Then (A)he presented the other ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 23 And he killed it, and Moses took some of its blood and (B)put it on the lobe of Aaron's right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot. 24 Then he presented Aaron's sons, and Moses put some of the blood on the lobes of their right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the big toes of their right feet. And Moses threw the blood against the sides of the altar. 25 Then he took the fat and the fat tail and all the fat that was on the entrails and the long lobe of the liver and the two kidneys with their fat and the right thigh, 26 and out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord he took one unleavened loaf and one loaf of bread with oil and one wafer and placed them on the pieces of fat and on the right thigh. 27 And he put all these in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons and waved them as a wave offering before the Lord. 28 Then Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering with a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord.

Hebrews 7:23-28
English Standard Version
23 The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, 24 but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues (A)forever. 25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost[a] (B)those who draw near to God (C)through him, since he always lives (D)to make intercession for them.
26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, (E)holy, innocent, unstained, (F)separated from sinners, and (G)exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, (H)first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this (I)once for all when he offered up himself. 28 For the law appoints men (J)in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made (K)perfect forever.

Hebrews 7:23-28
New International Version
23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; 24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.(A) 25 Therefore he is able to save(B) completely[a] those who come to God(C) through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.(D)
26 Such a high priest(E) truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners,(F) exalted above the heavens.(G) 27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices(H) day after day, first for his own sins,(I) and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all(J) when he offered himself.(K) 28 For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness;(L) but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son,(M) who has been made perfect(N) forever.

Hebrews 7:11-14
English Standard Version
Jesus Compared to Melchizedek
11 (A)Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? 12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. 13 For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended (B)from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

Hebrews 7:11-14
New International Version
Jesus Like Melchizedek
11 If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the people(A) established that priesthood—why was there still need for another priest to come,(B) one in the order of Melchizedek,(C) not in the order of Aaron? 12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also. 13 He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe,(D) and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar.(E) 14 For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah,(F) and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.
