By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. 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 ever more.-Hebrews 7:22-28***In the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible, in the Epistle to the Hebrews, the letter written to Israelite (Hebrew/Jewish) believers, the unnamed writer describes some of the background and priesthood information of Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, and the Levitical priests, and Melchizedek (Melchisedec) the priest and king of Salem. The Israelites descended from Adam and Eve, their son Seth, Seth's great-great-great-grandson Enoch, Enoch's great-grandson Noah the ark builder, Noah's son Shem, Shem's son Arphaxad, Arphaxad's great-great-great-great-great-grandson Terah, Terah's children Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), their son Isaac and his wife Rebekah, and Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). The Lord God created Adam, the 1st man. The Lord God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, and the Lord God made Adam's wife Eve, the mother of all living, after taking a part out of Adam. Over 1,900 years after Judah was born to Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah,to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Before Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus, the Word, was in heaven with his Father, the Lord God, and was with the Lord God in the beginning. The familial lineage of Melchizedek is not revealed in the Holy Bible. The Levites descended from Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. Moses and his siblings Miriam and Aaron were born into the tribe of Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, they led the Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur, according to the commands of the Lord God. In the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai, the Israelites heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them, and the Lord God began giving Moses judgments for the Israelites. When Moses was upon Mount Sinai with the Lord God for 40 days and nights, the Lord God told Moses that only Aaron, and Aaron's sons and the sons descended from their sons were to serve the Lord God as priests. During the 40-year journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, the Lord God gave Moses, and sometimes Aaron, judgments, statutes, and laws for the Israelites, including the priests, and the high priest. Aaron was the 1st high priest in the Levitical priesthood. Jesus is revealed to be a high priest, the apostle and high priest, a great high priest, and a high priest according to the order of Melchidezek.-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, Hebrews
