If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Entonces, si la perfección fuera posible a través del sacerdocio levítico (pues bajo este sistema el pueblo recibió la ley), ¿qué necesidad habría de que surgiera otro sacerdote según el orden de Melquisedec, y no según el orden de Aarón?
El antiguo sistema sacerdotal levítico no podía lograr la perfección, por eso era necesario un nuevo tipo de sacerdote como Melquisedec.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Old Testament, the Levitical priesthood was established through Aaron and his descendants from the tribe of Levi as part of the Mosaic Law, serving as intermediaries who offered sacrifices and maintained religious practices for the Israelites. This system was designed to foster a relationship between God and His people but was limited and temporary, unable to provide complete spiritual perfection or eternal access to God. The author of Hebrews contrasts this with the priesthood of Melchisedec, a figure from Genesis who was a priest-king without genealogy or end, to highlight the need for a superior priestly order fulfilled in Jesus.
