Hebrews 7:20-22
New Living Translation

20 This new system was established with a solemn oath. Aaron’s descendants became priests without such an oath, 21 but there was an oath regarding Jesus. For God said to him,

“The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow:
    ‘You are a priest forever.’”[a]

22 Because of this oath, Jesus is the one who guarantees this better covenant with God.

Hebrews 7:20-22
International Standard Version

20 Now none of this happened without an oath. Others became priests without any oath, 21 but Jesus[a] became a priest[b] with an oath when God[c] told him,

“The Lord[d] has taken an oath
    and will not change his mind.
You are a priest forever.”[e]

22 In this way, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.
