Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), why is there yet a need [for] another priest to rise, according to the order of Melchizedek, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?

For He concerning whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.

And it is yet even more clearer, if according to the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest

a memorial to the children of Israel that no stranger might draw near, who is not of the seed of Aaron, to offer incense before the Lord; so he shall not be as Korah and as they that conspired with him, as the Lord spoke to him by the hand of Moses.

And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we are cut off, we are destroyed, we are consumed.

Everyone that touches the tabernacle of the Lord, dies: shall we die utterly?

And you shall keep the charges of the holy things, and the charges of the altar, and [so] there shall not be anger among the children of Israel.

And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, [It is] not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord, but only for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to sacrifice: Leave the sanctuary, for you have departed from the Lord; and this shall not be for glory to you from the Lord God.

And Uzziah was angry, and in his hand [was] the censer to burn incense in the temple. And when he was angry with the priests, then the leprosy rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, over the altar of incense.

By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying concerning his gifts; and through it, although he died, he still speaks.
