Berean Standard Bible

Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.

And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:

Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.

Hebrews 7:21–25 · Berean Standard Bible

21 but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: ‘You are a priest forever.’”

22 Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

23 Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.

24 But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood.

25 Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.
