Imagine you have two helpers at home - one who sometimes makes mistakes and another who never does. The verse says the first helper comes from rules we made up, but the second helper was chosen by God and will help forever without any mistakes.
历史背景
The author of Hebrews, likely Paul or someone close to him, wrote this letter around AD 60-70 to encourage Jewish Christians. The audience faced pressure to return to old covenant practices, so the book emphasizes Jesus as a better high priest than those under the law.
