Hebrews 7:11

Εἰ μὲν οὖν τελείωσις διὰ τῆς Λευιτικῆς ἱερωσύνης ἦν λαὸς γὰρ ἐπ' αὐτῇ νενομοθέτητο τίς ἔτι χρεία κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ ἕτερον ἀνίστασθαι ἱερέα καὶ οὐ κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Ἀαρὼν λέγεσθαι
11
If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another should priest rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

Hebrews 5:1

Πᾶς γὰρ ἀρχιερεὺς ἐξ ἀνθρώπων λαμβανόμενος ὑπὲρ ἀνθρώπων καθίσταται τὰ πρὸς τὸν θεόν ἵνα προσφέρῃ δῶρά τε καὶ θυσίας ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτιῶν
1
For every high priest taken from among men is ordained in for men things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

2 Chronicles 26:18

וַיַּֽעַמְדוּ עַל-עֻזִּיָּהוּ הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ לֹֽא-לְךָ עֻזִּיָּהוּ לְהַקְטִיר לַֽיהוָה כִּי לַכֹּֽהֲנִים בְּנֵֽי-אַהֲרֹן הַמְקֻדָּשִׁים לְהַקְטִיר צֵא מִן-הַמִּקְדָּשׁ כִּי מָעַלְתָּ וְלֹֽא-לְךָ לְכָבוֹד מֵֽיְהוָה אֱלֹהִֽים׃
18
And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God.

Numbers 17:12

וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-מֹשֶׁה לֵאמֹר הֵן גָּוַעְנוּ אָבַדְנוּ כֻּלָּנוּ אָבָֽדְנוּ׃
12
And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.

Numbers 16:40

זִכָּרוֹן לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יִקְרַב אִישׁ זָר אֲשֶׁר לֹא מִזֶּרַע אַֽהֲרֹן הוּא לְהַקְטִיר קְטֹרֶת לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וְלֹֽא-יִהְיֶה כְקֹרַח וְכַעֲדָתוֹ כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה בְּיַד-מֹשֶׁה לֽוֹ׃
40
To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.

Numbers 18:5

וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם אֵת מִשְׁמֶרֶת הַקֹּדֶשׁ וְאֵת מִשְׁמֶרֶת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וְלֹֽא-יִהְיֶה עוֹד קֶצֶף עַל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
5
And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.

Hebrews 11:4

Πίστει πλείονα θυσίαν Ἅβελ παρὰ Κάϊν προσήνεγκεν τῷ θεῷ δι' ἧς ἐμαρτυρήθη εἶναι δίκαιος μαρτυροῦντος ἐπὶ τοῖς δώροις αὐτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ δι' αὐτῆς ἀποθανὼν ἔτι λαλεῖται
4
By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
