But God said to him, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.”
6 Just as that, He also says in another place: “You are a priest to the age, according to the order of Melchizedek.” as he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” And he says in another place, “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”
7 He in the days of His flesh having offered both supplications and entreaties with strong crying and tears to the One being able to save Him from death, and having been heard from reverence, In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.

11 Concerning this there is much speech from us, and difficult in interpretation to speak, since you⁺ have become dull in hearing.

12 For even by the time you ought to be teachers, you⁺ have need of one to teach you⁺ again what is the beginning of the elements of the oracles of God; and you⁺ have become those having need of milk, and not of solid food.

You need milk, not solid food, In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
