And it was not without an oath. For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath,
as he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”
The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.”
And you and your sons with you shall guard your priesthood for all that concerns the altar and that is within the veil; and you shall serve. I give your priesthood as a gift, and any outsider who comes near shall be put to death.”
