Hebrews 7:4-5
New American Standard Bible
4 Now observe how great this man was to whom Abraham, the (A)patriarch, (B)gave a tenth of the choicest spoils. 5 And those indeed of (C)the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment [a]in the Law to collect [b]a tenth from the people, that is, from their countrymen, although they [c]are descended from Abraham.

4 Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch(A) Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!(B) 5 Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people(C)—that is, from their fellow Israelites—even though they also are descended from Abraham.

4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

Hebrews 7:14-28
New American Standard Bible
14 For it is evident that our Lord [a]was (A)descended from Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses said nothing concerning priests. 15 And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek, 16 who has become a priest not on the basis of a law of [b](B)physical requirement, but according to the power of (C)an indestructible life. 17 For it is attested of Him,
“(D)You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
18 For, on the one hand, there is the nullification of a former commandment (E)because of its weakness and uselessness 19 (for (F)the Law made nothing perfect); on the other hand, there is the introduction of a better (G)hope, through which we (H)come near to God. 20 And to the extent that it was not without an oath 21 (for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him,
22 by the same extent Jesus also has become the [c](L)guarantee of (M)a better covenant.
23 [d]The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing; 24 [e]Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues (N)forever, holds His priesthood permanently. 25 Therefore He is also able to (O)save [f]forever those who (P)come to God through Him, since He always lives to (Q)make intercession for them.
26 For it was fitting for us to have such a (R)high priest, (S)holy, (T)innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and (U)exalted above the heavens; 27 who has no daily need, like those high priests, to (V)offer up sacrifices, (W)first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because He did this (X)once for all time when He (Y)offered up Himself. 28 For the Law appoints men as high priests (Z)who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints (AA)a Son, who has been (AB)made perfect forever.

Hebrews 7:14-28
New International Version
14 For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah,(A) and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. 15 And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, 16 one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is declared:
18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless(C) 19 (for the law made nothing perfect),(D) and a better hope(E) is introduced, by which we draw near to God.(F)
20 And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, 21 but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him:
22 Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.(I)
23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; 24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.(J) 25 Therefore he is able to save(K) completely[c] those who come to God(L) through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.(M)
26 Such a high priest(N) truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners,(O) exalted above the heavens.(P) 27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices(Q) day after day, first for his own sins,(R) and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all(S) when he offered himself.(T) 28 For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness;(U) but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son,(V) who has been made perfect(W) forever.

King James Version
Hebrews 7:14-28
King James Version
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

10 By [a]this will, we have been (A)sanctified through (B)the offering of (C)the body of Jesus Christ (D)once for all time.
11 Every priest stands daily ministering and (E)offering time after time the same sacrifices, which (F)can never take away sins; 12 but He, having offered one sacrifice (G)for [b]sins (H)for all time, (I)sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time onward (J)until His enemies are made a footstool for His feet. 14 For by one offering He has (K)perfected (L)for all time those who are [c]sanctified.
