HEBREWS—NOTE ON Hebrews 7:11 Hebrews 1:1 offers several reasons for why the Mosaic law could not bring people to perfection (vv. Hebrews 7:18; Hebrews 9:9; Hebrews 10:1). Here, the fact that there existed a priestly order of Melchizedek (Psalms 110:4) shows that the Levitical priesthood was insufficient for the task. change in the law. The establishment of a better priesthood (Christ’s) shows Christians that there also has been a change from the Mosaic law, since that law required a succession of priests, all descended from Levi (Hebrews 7:18). Thus, the Mosaic covenant (the “old covenant”) is no longer in effect.
