Ibrani 7:11
Konteks7:11 So if perfection had in fact been possible through the Levitical priesthood – for on that basis 1 the people received the law – what further need would there have been for another priest to arise, said to be in the order of Melchizedek and not in Aaron’s order?
Ibrani 8:6
Konteks8:6 But 2 now Jesus 3 has obtained a superior ministry, since 4 the covenant that he mediates is also better and is enacted 5 on better promises. 6
Ibrani 10:16
Konteks10:16 “This is the covenant that I will establish with them after those days, says the Lord. I will put 7 my laws on their hearts and I will inscribe them on their minds,” 8
[7:11] 1 tn Grk “based on it.”
[8:6] 2 sn The Greek text indicates a contrast between vv. 4-5 and v. 6 that is difficult to render in English: Jesus’ status in the old order of priests (vv. 4-5) versus his superior ministry (v. 6).
[8:6] 3 tn Grk “he”; in the translation the referent (Jesus) has been specified for clarity.
[8:6] 4 tn Grk “to the degree that.”
[8:6] 5 tn Grk “which is enacted.”
[8:6] 6 sn This linkage of the change in priesthood with a change in the law or the covenant goes back to Heb 7:12, 22 and is picked up again in Heb 9:6-15 and 10:1-18.
