³ without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, and being made like to the Son of God, doth remain a priest continually.

⁶ and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he hath blessed,

²³ and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining;

²⁴ and he, because of his remaining -- to the age, hath the priesthood not transient,

²⁵ whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God -- ever living to make intercession for them.

²⁶ For such a chief priest did become us -- kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

²⁷ who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself;

²⁸ for the law doth appoint men chief priests, having infirmity, but the word of the oath that `is' after the law `appointeth' the Son -- to the age having been perfected.

¹⁸ And the sons of Kohath `are' Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath `are' a hundred and thirty and three years.

²⁰ And Amram taketh Jochebed his aunt to himself for a wife, and she beareth to him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram `are' a hundred and thirty and seven years.

²¹ And sons of Izhar `are' Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.

²² And sons of Uzziel `are' Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Sithri.

²³ And Aaron taketh Elisheba daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to himself for a wife, and she beareth to him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

²⁴ And sons of Korah `are' Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these `are' families of the Korhite.

²⁵ And Eleazar, Aaron's son, hath taken to him `one' of the daughters of Putiel for a wife to himself, and she beareth to him Phinehas: these `are' heads of the fathers of the Levites, as to their families.

²⁶ This `is' Aaron -- and Moses -- to whom Jehovah said, `Bring ye out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by their hosts;'

²⁷ these are they who are speaking unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt, this `is' Moses -- and Aaron.

¹ Sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

² And the sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel.

³ And sons of Amram: Aaron, and Moses, and Miriam. And sons of Aaron: Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

¹⁷ for He doth testify -- `Thou `art' a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;'

³ And the Tempter having come to him said, `If Son thou art of God -- speak that these stones may become loaves.'
