- For the one we are talking about belongs to a different tribe, whose members do not serve at the altar.
- What I mean is, our Lord came from the tribe of Judah, and Moses never mentioned Judah in connection with the priesthood.
- The change in God's law is even more evident from the fact that a different priest, who is like Melchizedek, has now come.
