Here the writer is making the argument that the law not being perfect had to be replaced with a more perfect law and why Jesus was that replacement. Jesus is the new High Priest after the order of Mel-chis'e-dec. The job of the Priest is to offer up our sacrifice for our sins. The Levitical priesthood had to make sacrifice also for themselves which means that they had sin and therefore not being perfect. Whereas Jesus having not sin offering up himself made it perfect. Levy according to the Law didn't have to pay tithes but receiveth tithes but after the order of Mel-chis'e-dec payed tithes in Abraham. For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the Law. For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of the tribe of Judah: Who is made, not after the Law but after the power of endless life.
