In the Old Testament the Levitical priesthood was determined by lineage. In order to become a priest one had to descend from Levi and Aaron. If you descended from Levi but not from Aaron you performed other duties related to the Tabernacle or Temple, but you could not offer sacrifices. Today the author of Hebrews points out there was another priesthood not determined by bloodlines in the Old Testament and that priesthood was actually superior to the priesthood determined by bloodline.
