V. 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. The law constitutes men high priests which have infirmity, and who, by reason of death, cannot continue in their office; but the word of the oath, which was uttered since the law, Thou art a high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec, constitutes the Son of God a priest for evermore.
