And to the extent that it was not without an oath

And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:

(for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him, "THE LORD HAS SWORN AND WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND, 'YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER'");

(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

by the same extent Jesus also has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
