Greek-English Concordance for ἱερωσύνη

Hebrews 7:11 If, then, perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (hierōsynēs | ἱερωσύνης | gen sg fem) (for under it the people had received the law), what further need would there have been for another kind of priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, rather than one designated after the order of Aaron?
Hebrews 7:12 For whenever the priesthood (hierōsynēs | ἱερωσύνης | gen sg fem) is altered, there is necessarily an alteration in the law as well.
Hebrews 7:24 but on the other hand, Jesus, because he remains forever, has a priesthood (hierōsynēn | ἱερωσύνην | acc sg fem) that is permanent.
