Why H3651 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 said, H5002 I said H559 indeed that your house, H1004 and the house H1004 of your father, H1 should walk H1980 before H6440 me for ever: H5769 but now H6258 the LORD H3068 said, H5002 Be it far H2486 from me; for them that honor H3513 me I will honor, H3513 and they that despise H959 me shall be lightly H7043 esteemed. H7043

So Solomon H8010 thrust H1644 out Abiathar H54 from being H1961 priest H3548 to the LORD; H3068 that he might fulfill H4390 the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 which H834 he spoke H1696 concerning H5921 the house H1004 of Eli H5941 in Shiloh. H7887

Eleazar H499 begat H3205 Phinehas, H6372 Phinehas H6372 begat H3205 Abishua, H50

And Uzzi H5813 begat H3205 Zerahiah, H2228 and Zerahiah H2228 begat H3205 Meraioth, H4812

And Ahitub H285 begat H3205 Zadok, H6659 and Zadok H6659 begat H3205 Ahimaaz, H290

And Johanan H3110 begat H3205 Azariah, H5838 (he it is that executed the priest's H3547 office in the temple H1004 that Solomon H8010 built H1129 in Jerusalem: H3389 )

And Ahitub H285 begat H3205 Zadok, H6659 and Zadok H6659 begat H3205 Shallum, H7967

And Azariah H5838 begat H3205 Seraiah, H8304 and Seraiah H8304 begat H3205 Jehozadak, H3087

And these H428 are the sons H1121 of Aaron; H175 Eleazar H499 his son, H1121 Phinehas H6372 his son, H1121 Abishua H50 his son, H1121

Meraioth H4812 his son, H1121 Amariah H568 his son, H1121 Ahitub H285 his son, H1121

And you shall anoint H4886 them, as you did anoint H4886 their father, H1 that they may minister to me in the priest's H3547 office: for their anointing H4888 shall surely be an everlasting H5769 priesthood H3550 throughout their generations. H1755

But you shall be named H7121 the Priests H3548 of the LORD: H3068 men shall call H7121 you the Ministers H8334 of our God: H430 you shall eat H398 the riches H2428 of the Gentiles, H1471 and in their glory H3519 shall you boast H3235 yourselves.

Neither H3808 shall the priests H3548 the Levites H3881 want H3772 a man H376 before H6440 me to offer H5927 burnt H5930 offerings, and to kindle H6999 meat offerings, H4503 and to do H6213 sacrifice H2077 continually. H3605 H3117

As the host H6635 of heaven H8064 cannot H3808 be numbered, H5608 neither H3808 the sand H2344 of the sea H3220 measured: H4058 so H3651 will I multiply H7235 the seed H2233 of David H1732 my servant, H5650 and the Levites H3881 that minister H8334 to me.

If G1487 therefore G3767 perfection G5050 were by the Levitical G3020 priesthood, G2420 (for under G1909 it the people G2992 received G3549 the law, G3549 ) what G5101 further G2089 need G5532 was there that another G2087 priest G2409 should rise G450 after G2596 the order G5010 of Melchisedec, G3198 and not be called G3004 after G2596 the order G5010 of Aaron? G2

For he testifies, G3140 You are a priest G2409 for ever G165 after G2596 the order G5010 of Melchisedec. G3198

For there is truly G3303 a cancellation G115 of the commandment G1785 going G4254 before G4254 for the weakness G772 and unprofitableness G512 thereof. G846

You also, G2532 as lively G2198 stones, G3037 are built G3618 up a spiritual G4152 house, G3624 an holy G40 priesthood, G2406 to offer G399 up spiritual G4152 sacrifices, G2378 acceptable G2144 to God G2316 by Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547

But you are a chosen G1588 generation, G1085 a royal G934 priesthood, G2406 an holy G40 nation, G1484 a peculiar G1519 G4047 people; G2992 that you should show G1804 forth G1804 the praises G703 of him who has called G2564 you out of darkness G4655 into G1519 his marvelous G2298 light; G5457

And has made G4160 us kings G935 and priests G2409 to God G2316 and his Father; G3962 to him be glory G1391 and dominion G2904 for ever G165 and ever. G165 Amen. G281

And he said, H559 I have been very jealous H7065 for the LORD H3068 God H430 of hosts: H6635 for the children H1121 of Israel H3478 have forsaken H5800 your covenant, H1285 thrown H2040 down H2040 your altars, H4196 and slain H2026 your prophets H5030 with the sword; H2719 and I, even I only, H905 am left; H3498 and they seek H1245 my life, H5315 to take H3947 it away.

And he said, H559 I have been very jealous H7065 for the LORD H3068 God H430 of hosts: H6635 because H3588 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 have forsaken H5800 your covenant, H1285 thrown H2040 down H2040 your altars, H4196 and slain H2026 your prophets H5030 with the sword; H2719 and I, even I only, H905 am left; H3498 and they seek H1245 my life, H5315 to take H3947 it away.

For the zeal H7068 of your house H1004 has eaten H398 me up; and the reproaches H2781 of them that reproached H2778 you are fallen H5307 on me.

And that was counted H2803 to him for righteousness H6666 to all generations H1755 for ever more. H5769

My zeal H7068 has consumed H6789 me, because H3588 my enemies H6862 have forgotten H7911 your words. H1697

And his disciples G3101 remembered G3415 that it was written, G1125 The zeal G2205 of your G4675 house G3624 has eaten G2719 me up.

I am G1510 truly G3303 a man G435 which am G1510 a Jew, G2453 born G1080 in Tarsus, G5019 a city in Cilicia, G2791 yet brought G397 up in this G5026 city G4172 at G3844 the feet G4228 of Gamaliel, G1059 and taught G3811 according G2596 to the perfect G195 manner G195 of the law G3551 of the fathers, G3971 and was zealous G2207 toward God, G2316 as you all G3956 are this G4594 day. G4594

As also G2532 the high G749 priest G749 does bear G3140 me witness, G3140 and all G3956 the estate of the elders: G4244 from whom G3739 also G2532 I received G1209 letters G1992 to the brothers, G80 and went G4198 to Damascus, G1154 to bring G71 them which were there G1566 bound G1210 to Jerusalem, G2419 for to be punished. G5097

For I bear G3140 them record G3140 that they have G2192 a zeal G2205 of God, G2316 but not according G2596 to knowledge. G1922

For Christ G5547 is the end G5056 of the law G3551 for righteousness G1343 to every G3956 one G3956 that believes. G4100

And it came H1961 to pass on the morrow, H4283 that Moses H4872 said H559 to the people, H5971 You have sinned H2398 a great H1419 sin: H2401 and now H6258 I will go H5927 up to the LORD; H3068 peradventure H194 I shall make an atonement H3722 for your sin. H2403

Therefore the children H1121 of Israel H3478 could H3201 not stand H6965 before H6440 their enemies, H341 but turned H6437 their backs H6203 before H6440 their enemies, H341 because H3588 they were accursed: H2764 neither H3808 will I be with you any more, H3254 except H518 H3808 you destroy H8045 the accursed H2764 from among H7130 you.

Why David H1732 said H559 to the Gibeonites, H1393 What H4100 shall I do H6213 for you? and with which H4100 shall I make the atonement, H3722 that you may bless H1288 the inheritance H5159 of the LORD? H3068

Why G3606 in all G3956 things it behooved G3784 him to be made G3666 like G3666 to his brothers, G80 that he might be a merciful G1655 and faithful G4103 high G749 priest G749 in things pertaining to God, G2316 to make G2433 reconciliation G2433 for the sins G266 of the people. G2992

And he is the propitiation G2434 for our sins: G266 and not for our's G2251 only, G3440 but also G2532 for the sins of the whole G3650 world. G2889
