The book of Hebrews ~ modified~ and why I believe it to be written by Priscilla, besides … (edit: an unanswerable question that is not open to debate, but just as a sidenote)
The contrast with Paul is in the equalitarian terms in an almost floral pictorial relating to Christ and the church. Chapter 4 offers equality for all before God. The foundation of the city they were looking forward to was built on a promise, an analogy in Paul’s writings but never exemplified. The readers were Essenes that would have understood angel’s significance in opposition to the temple ways, which don’t seem to have been an eyewitness testimony to the content. They expected 2 lines of Messiah, one a king, the other a priest, but the book joins them together in melchezedec. No child-parent content that Paul displays. Priscilla has many active parts in the forming of the church and a careful examination of the text would have her at the right place at the right time. Of course without a signature who knows, but she would also be most likely to have left her named off because of gaining acceptability, as the customs were then.
Among the Hebrew Christians many still clung to the temple and its ritual. And there were among them teachers who inculcated obedience to the laws in regard to food etc. But the writer of Hebrews warns against these strange teachings FOR IT IS GOOD FOR THE HEART TO BE ESTABLISHED BY GRACE, NOT BY MEATS. No outward observances can sustain the inner life; it's by grace alone, grace that comes from the throne of grace, that the heart must be established.
Our altar is the cross. The Levitical priesthood is entirely different from the new worship. The old priesthood has no part in the sacrifices of the cross and the new worship has no part in the old sacrifices. THE SIN OFFERING, OF WHICH THE BLOOD WAS BROUGHT INTO THE HOLY PLACE BY THE HIGH PRIEST, WAS __not eaten __ BURNT OUTSIDE THE CAMP. The sin-offering leads to seperation and rejection. He was cast out of the city as one made sin for us. Hebrews 11:10, Hebrews 13:14 THEREFORE WE BEAR HIS REPROACH.
Outside the camp is in fellowship with Jesus, crucified to the world and in death to sin. He not only provided a sin-offering for us but the new and living Way
Search the scriptures to show thyself approved/propitiated.
Hebrews 1:1-4 Christ greater than prophets and angels
, confirmed in verse 5-14 paying closest attention to what we have heard. First practical warning over the 5 warnings in the book of Hebrews.

Hebrews 12:28-29 Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe. 29For our God is a consuming fire.…

Hebrews 10:19-25
Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; 24 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
