G3588–ὁ–ho

that you won't be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherited the promises.

τῶν tōn “of those”τὰς tas “the”

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself,

τῷ tō “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”

Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

τῆς tēs “the”

For men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.

τοῦ tou “[one]”ὁ ho “in the”

In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;

ὁ ho “<the>”τοῖς tois “to the”τῆς tēs “of the”τὸ to “the”τῆς tēs “of the”

that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

τὸν ton “<the>”οἱ hoi “<the>”τῆς tēs “of what”

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil;

τῆς tēs “of the”τὸ to “that”τοῦ tou “the”

where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

τὴν tēn “the”τὸν ton “the”

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

ὁ ho “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”ὁ ho “who”τῆς tēs “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.

τῷ tō “as the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”

Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best spoils.

τῶν tōn “the”ὁ ho “the”

They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the loins of Abraham,

οἱ hoi “those”τῶν tōn “the”τὴν tēn “the”τὸν ton “from the”τὸν ton “the”τοὺς tous “from the”τῆς tēs “the”

but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has taken tithes of Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.

ὁ ho “The [one]”τὸν ton “<the>”τὸν ton “the [one who]”τὰς tas “the”

But without any dispute the less is blessed by the better.

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “the”

So to say, through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,

ὁ ho “the [one]”

for he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

τῇ tēa “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”

Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

τῆς tēs “the”ὁ ho “the”τὴν tēn “the”τὴν tēn “the”

For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.

τῆς tēs “the”

For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.

τῷ tō “at the”

For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

ὁ ho “the”

This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,

τὴν tēn “the”

for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, According to the order of Melchizedek."

τὸν ton “the”τὴν tēn “the”

For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness

τὸ to “<the>”

(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

ὁ ho “the”τῷ tō “<the>”

(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, "The Lord swore and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest forever, According to the order of Melchizedek'".

οἱ hoi “those ones”ὁ ho “[He]”τοῦ tou “the [One] who”τὸν ton “the”τὴν tēn “the”
