A new argument is now introduced. Since the Levitical priesthood and the law were given together, as parts of one whole, so that the annulling of the one is the annulling of the other, why should God have promised another priesthood, and with it another economy, except because the former priesthood with its economy was unable to give perfection? Perfection; see note to verse Hebrews 7:19.

Under it the people received the law; it was the basis of the Mosaic law in such a way that when the law should be changed, that must be changed also, verse Hebrews 7:12.
