Hebrews 7:18

“For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness”

Verse in context — Hebrews 7

who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:

for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.

For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness

(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath

Jesus as the ultimate High Priest and fulfillment of the Old Covenant.
