Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it hath the people received the law), what further need [was there] that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron?

Ifªª thereforeª perfectionª wereª° byª the¹ Leviticalª priesthood,ª (forª underª itª the¹ peopleª received the law,)ª° whatª furtherª needª [was there] that anotherª priestª should riseª° afterª the¹ orderª of Melchisedec,ª andª notª be calledª° afterª the¹ orderª of Aaron?ª

Ifªª thereforeª perfectionª wereª° byª the¹ Leuiticallª Priesthoodª (forª vnderª itª the¹ peopleª receiued the Law)ª° whatª furtherª needeª was there, that anotherª Priestª should riseª° afterª the¹ orderª of Melchisedec,ª andª notª bee calledª° afterª the¹ orderª of Aaron?ª

If, therefore, Perfection were to be through the priesthood of the Levoyee, by which the law has been put upon the people, why was there another Priest required, who should arise in the resemblance of Malki-Zedek? For he had said, In the likeness of Aharun he shall be.

If, therefore, perfection had been by means of the priesthood of the Levites, in which the law was enjoined on the people; why was another priest required, who should stand up after the likeness of Melchisedec? For it should have said, He shall be after the likeness of Aaron.

Εἰ μὲν οὖν τελείωσις διὰ τῆς Λευειτικῆς ἱερωσύνης ἦν, ὁ λαὸς γὰρ ἐπ' αὐτῆς νενομοθέτηται, τίς ἔτι χρεία κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδὲκ ἕτερον ἀνίστασθαι ἱερέα καὶ οὐ κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Ἀαρὼν λέγεσθαι;

If indeed accordingly an-en-finished-belonging through of-the-one of-Leuite-belonged-of of-a-sacredness it-was, the-one a-people therefore upon of-it it-had-come-to-be-parcelee-placed-unto, what-one if-to-a-one an-affording-of down to-the-one to-an-arranging of-a-Melchisedek to-different to-stand-up to-a-sacreder-of and not down to-the-one to-an-arranging to-an-Aaron to-be-forthed?
