7:17
For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
7:18
So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless
7:19

7:20
And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,
7:21

7:22
Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
