hebrews 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

hebrews 7:12 For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also.

12. For--the reason why Paul presses the words "after the order of Melchisedec" in Ps 110:4, namely, because these presuppose a change or transference of the priesthood, and this carries with it a change also of the law (which is inseparably bound up with the priesthood, both stand and fall together, Heb 7:11). This is his answer to those who might object, What need was there of a new covenant?

hebrews 7:12 For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also.
