Where it appears
Appears 3 times in the Bible.
- Hebrews 7:11 So if the priesthood of Levi, on which the law was based, could have achieved the perfection God intended, why did God need to establish a different priesthood, with a priest in the order of Melchizedek instead of the order of Levi and Aaron?
- Hebrews 7:12 And if the priesthood is changed, the law must also be changed to permit it.
- Hebrews 7:24 But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever.
