‏ Hebrews 7:19

 Made nothing perfect ( ουδεν ετελειωσεν ). Another parenthesis. First aorist active indicative of  τελειοω. See verse 11. And yet law is necessary.

 A bringing in thereupon ( επεισαγωγη ). An old double compound ( επ, additional,  εισαγωγη, bringing in from  εισαγω ). Here only in N.T. Used by Josephus (Ant. XI. 6, 2) for the introduction of a new wife in place of the repudiated one.

 Of a better hope ( κρειττονος ελπιδος ). This better hope (6:18-20) does bring us near to God ( εγγιζομεν τω θεω ) as we come close to God's throne through Christ (4:16).
