Hebrews 8:4

4 And so, if he were upon the earth, he would not be a priest, since there would be others to offer gifts according to the law, ^{▼▼8:4 If then he were on earth, etc: That is, if he were not of a higher condition than the Levitical order of earthly priests, and had not another kind of sacrifice to offer, he should be excluded by them from the priesthood, and its functions, which by the law were appropriated to their tribe.(Challoner)}
