By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.
Hebrews 7:23

Hebrews 7:15
And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,

Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.
Hebrews 7:11

Hebrews 7:12
Because if the priests are changed, it is necessary to make a change in the law.
