 There is, in fact, a disannulling of the commandment that existed previously, because it was unprofitable (for the law brought nothing to perfection). (Hebrews 7 by J.N. Darby)
 Even that which temporarily relieved the conscience brought sin to mind and never made the conscience perfect towards God. They were still at a distance from Him. Grace brings the soul to God, who is known in love and in a righteousness which is for us. (Hebrews 7 by J.N. Darby)
 With the priesthood of Christ there is the bringing in of a better hope. It has in view the believer being brought to glory, though before we reach the glory we can draw nigh to God through our High Priest. (The New Order of the Priesthood: Hebrews 7 by H. Smith)

WK Translation Notes

+
a
In verses 18 and 19 we must take "for the law made nothing perfect" parenthetically, and suppose an ellipse. In other words, "did" ought to be left out of the KJV. The truth is that no verb is needed other than the text supplies in the beginning of verse 18, which stretches over to verse 19 also. Verse 19 is the correlative of 18, marked carefully with the parenthetic clause at the beginning of 19, which explains why the foregoing commandment was annulled. The parenthesis allows for the contrast between the fore-going commandment and the better hope, the one abrogated and the other brought in.
