Melchisedec

Malki-Tzedek king of Shalem brought out bread and wine. He was cohen of El 'Elyon [God Most High],

ADONAI has sworn it, and he will never retract -"You are a cohen forever, to be compared with Malki-Tzedek."

Also, as he says in another place, “You are a cohen forever, to be compared with Malki-Tzedek.”

since he had been proclaimed by God as a cohen gadol to be compared with Malki-Tzedek.

where a forerunner has entered on our behalf, namely, Yeshua, who has become a cohen gadol forever, to be compared with Malki-Tzedek.

This Malki-Tzedek, king of Shalem, a cohen of God Ha‘Elyon, met Avraham on his way back from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him;

inasmuch as he was still in his ancestor Avraham’s body when Malki-Tzedek met him.

Therefore, if it had been possible to reach the goal through the system of cohanim derived from Levi (since in connection with it, the people were given the Torah), what need would there have been for another, different kind of cohen, the one spoken of as to be compared with Malki-Tzedek and not to be compared with Aharon?

It becomes even clearer if a “different kind of cohen,” one like Malki-Tzedek, arises,

For it is stated, “You are a cohen FOREVER, to be compared with Malki-Tzedek.”

but Yeshua became a cohen by the oath which God swore when he said to him, “Adonai has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘You are a cohen forever.’”
