                              COMMENTARY

   Again you needed the Priest in order to make atonement for sin. Without a Priest there was no Atonement and without an Atonement the covenant was broken. Once again the absolute necessity of the Levitical Priesthood in connection with the Ten Commandments, which was the covenant. So once again when covenant theologians say the Ten Commandments are  binding on All men of All ages they are painting themselves into a corner. The Levite was the only legal priest under Moses. But Messiah was not a Levite; He was of Judah.  Therefore He cannot have any influence with regard to the Mosaic Covenant. Therefore both the covenant as well as the Priesthood necessarily had to be changed  otherwise we have no Great High Priest & there is no salvation.
