"Levitical" is not a person but an adjective describing the hereditary priesthood descended from the tribe of Levi under the law of Moses. Hebrews 7:11 uses the term to argue that the Levitical priesthood could not bring about lasting perfection, since Scripture later speaks of a different priest arising "after the order of Melchizedek" rather than after Levi's line.
