"A" is singular. Original Arabic, which Hebrews was written in, translated to English and excluding the Greek, reads as follows. We will probably have another argument, propagated by the adversary, over this also.
"But as there is a change in the priesthood, so also is there a change in the instruction (to the Levitical priests). Hebrews 7:12
Following this verse in context with related scriptures within the book of Hebrews, a change in the priestly line means a change in the instructions that relate to priests.
The purpose of Christ Jesus was to fulfill this priestly line in detail being changed from Levi to Judah.

Baloney. . .where is this Aramiac transcript?
Nope. . .the word is "law," it is not "instruction."
That would be "following this verse you altered," replacing "law" with "instruction."
Nope. . .that priestly line could never offer the perfect sacrifice of the High Priest himself.
It required a new eternal priesthood in the order of Melchizedek, which the Levitical priesthood was not.

so not that we are lawless in Him - but that both the condemnation and punishment of the law, He took upon Himself, and the reward and righteousness of the law, He secured, and gave, so that we, dying inwardly with Him, are also given life inwardly in Him - taking part in His death we also have part in His resurrection?
this doesn't place us under the Torah, but frees us from it - though this life is to be manifested outwardly, or we make ourselves liars, and shame His promise.
even if we aren't condemned, we can act like fools, and that isn't good. that's how i understand this ..? my obedience isn't the cause of my righteousness, but the reaction to His declaration. so it is with joy and gratitude, not fear and anxiety, that i am made careful not to sin

If the Word (Christ Jesus) is in the beginning, then the Word spoken and recorded as God's word to Moses, and the prophets, have to also be the words of Christ Jesus. Our Lord and Savior is not against His own Father let alone Himself.
"And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." Mark 3:25
But... of course we all know that Satan demands God's children to be divided so he can rule instead of Christ Jesus. The choice is really ours. Rhetorically, do we cause division or cohesiveness? By this simple deduction, (depending on obvious actions), we can all clearly see who is following what spiritual persuasion. If the shoe fits...............

i don't understand "the priesthood changed from Levi to Judah" -- if i'm understanding Hebrews correctly, His priesthood like Melchizadek is not by genealogy, so not transferred to another tribe - but by the direct appointment of God.
who appointed Christ, and appointed us to be found in Him. so we take part in it - but He is eternal, eternally our High priest.
He sent His Christ to be born into Judah, to rightfully be heir to the throne over Israel, but He became our priest apart from any relationship to a tribe, right?
i guess it is - the priesthood is changed. it isn't the same priesthood that Levi was appointed to.
i don't want to get into any argument about the original language of this epistle. am totally not qualified. prolly not really pertinent to the topic, but i really don't know. poking around, there is actually serious discussion about that i found on some other forums - interesting stuff that is way over my head, haha.

(Gal 5:12).
A false gospel leaves no doubt as to its author.
