10For hee was yet in the loynes of his Father when Melchisedec met him. 11If therefore perfection were by the Leuiticall Priesthood (for vnder it the people receiued the Law) what further neede was there, that another Priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not bee called after the order of Aaron? 12For the Priesthood being chaunged, there is made of necessitie a change also of the Law. 13For hee of whom these things are spoken, pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gaue attendance at the Altar. 14For it is euident that our Lorde sprang out of Iuda, of which tribe Moses spake nothing cōcerning Priesthood.

People's Bible Notes for Hebrews 7:12
Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed. The law as given "under the Levitical priesthood" (Heb 7:11), and was all grouped around the priesthood as its very center. There is made of necessity a change also of the law. Of course, if the priesthood was changed, the law of the old priesthood, the law of Moses, must go with it, and give place to a new law.
