彼為祭司者固多、因有死而不得恆存、

彼眾為祭司者、相繼甚多、因有死而不能常、

昔日之為司祭者、不一而足；蓋以有死之身任之、其不能恆久固矣。

Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office;

There were many priests in Levi’s family line. Death kept them from continuing in office.

The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office,

There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office.

Now many have become Levitical priests, since they are prevented by death from remaining in office.

The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing;

Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing.

And they indeed have been made priests many in number, because that by death they are hindered from continuing:

Now many have become Levitical priests, since they are prevented by death from remaining in office.

And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:

And the others who became priests were numerous, because death prevented them from continuing in office,

Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
