In context

14For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.

15And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,

16One who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.

17For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

18So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless
