Hebrews 7:5 | And those (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) of the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) sons of Levi who receive the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) priestly office have a mandate according to the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) law to collect a tithe from the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) people, that is, from their fellow countrymen, although they too come from the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) loins of Abraham. |

Hebrews 7:10 | for he was still in the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) loins of his (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham. |
Hebrews 7:11 | If, then, perfection had been attainable through the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) Levitical priesthood (for under it the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) people had received the law), what further need would there have been for another kind of priest to arise according to the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) order of Melchizedek, rather than one designated after the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) order of Aaron? |
Hebrews 7:12 | For whenever the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) priesthood is altered, there is necessarily an alteration in the law as well. |
Hebrews 7:13 | For the one of whom these things are said belongs to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) altar. |

Hebrews 7:18 | For there is an annulment of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness |

Hebrews 7:20 | And since this was not done without an oath (for others (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) have become priests without an oath, |
Hebrews 7:21 | but he (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) became a priest with an oath by the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) one who said to him, “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever’”), |
Hebrews 7:23 | Now on the one hand, these (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) many have become priests because they were hindered by death from continuing in office, |
Hebrews 7:24 | but on the other hand, Jesus (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc), because he remains forever, has a priesthood that is permanent. |
Hebrews 7:25 | Consequently, he is able to save completely those (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) who draw near to (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) God through him, because he continually lives to intercede for them. |
Hebrews 7:26 | For such a high priest was appropriate for us, one who is holy, innocent, undefiled; having been separated from sinners, he became exalted above the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) heavens. |
Hebrews 7:27 | He has no need to offer up daily sacrifices, like those (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) other high priests, first for their own sins and then for the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl fem) sins of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) people, for this he did once for all when he offered up himself. |
Hebrews 7:28 | For the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) law appoints men as high priests who have weaknesses, but the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) word of the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) oath, which (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) came later than the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) law, appoints the Son who has been made perfect forever. |
Hebrews 8:1 | Now the crowning affirmation to what (tois | τοῖς | dat pl neut) we are saying is this: we do have such a high priest, who has taken his seat at the right hand of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) throne of the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) Majesty in heaven, |

Hebrews 8:9 | It will not be like the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) covenant that I made with (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) their fathers on the day when I took them by the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant and I abandoned them, says the Lord. |
Hebrews 8:10 | For this is the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) covenant that I will establish with the (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds and I will inscribe them on their hearts. I will be their God and they will be my people. |

Hebrews 8:12 | For I will be gracious toward (tais | ταῖς | dat pl fem) their iniquities and I will never again remember their sins.” |
Hebrews 8:13 | In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) first one obsolete. And what (to | τό | nom sg neut) is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear. |
Hebrews 9:1 | Now the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) first covenant, in fact, had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary. |
Hebrews 9:2 | For a tent was set up. The (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) outer room, in which were the (hē | ἥ | nom sg fem) lampstand and the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) table and the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) consecrated bread, was called “the Holy Place.” |
Hebrews 9:3 | Behind the (to | τό | acc sg neut) curtain was a second room, a shrine called “the Most Holy Place.” |
Hebrews 9:4 | It contained the golden altar of incense and the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) ark of the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which were the golden urn containing the (to | τό | acc sg neut) manna, Aaron’s rod that (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) had budded, and the (hai | αἱ | nom pl fem) stone tablets of the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) covenant. |
Hebrews 9:5 | Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the (to | τό | acc sg neut) place of forgiveness. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail. |
Hebrews 9:6 | When these things had been prepared in this way, the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) priests used to enter regularly into the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) outer room to perform their (tas | τάς | acc pl fem) ritual services; |
Hebrews 9:7 | however into the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) second room only the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) high priest entered, and that only once a year, and not without taking blood, which he offered for himself and for the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl neut) sins committed unintentionally by the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) people. |
Hebrews 9:8 | By this the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) Holy Spirit is showing that the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) way into the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl neut) real sanctuary had not yet been disclosed as long as the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) first tent was standing. |
Hebrews 9:9 | This is an illustration pointing to the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) present time, during which the gifts and sacrifices being offered cannot perfect the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) worshiper so far as his conscience is concerned, |
Hebrews 9:11 | But when Christ appeared as high priest of the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl neut) good things that have now come, passing through the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) this creation), |
Hebrews 9:12 | he entered once for all into the (ta | τά | acc pl neut) Most Holy Place, not by means of the blood of goats and calves, but by means of his own blood, thus obtaining an eternal redemption. |
Hebrews 9:13 | For if the (to | τό | nom sg neut) blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkled ashes of a heifer, sanctify those (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) who have been ceremonially defiled so that their (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) flesh is purified, |
Hebrews 9:14 | how much more will the (to | τό | nom sg neut) blood of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) God, purify our conscience from dead works to worship the living God! |
Hebrews 9:15 | And for this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) who are called may receive the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl fem) transgressions committed under that (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) first covenant. |
Hebrews 9:16 | For where there is a covenant, it is required that the death of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) one who made it be established. |
Hebrews 9:17 | For a will takes effect only when a person has died; it cannot possibly be valid so long as the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who made it is still alive. |
Hebrews 9:18 | Therefore not even the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) first covenant was inaugurated without blood. |
