Hebrews 7:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ This is because Levi was born later into the family of Abraham, who gave a tenth to Melchizedek.

¹¹ Even though the Law of Moses says the priests must be descendants of Levi, those priests cannot make anyone perfect. So there needs to be a priest like Melchizedek, rather than one from the priestly family of Aaron.^{[a] 12} And when the rules for selecting a priest are changed, the Law must also be changed.
