Hebreos 7:5-28 NVI

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 7:1-28

Hebrews 7:1-Hosea : . The Melchizedek Priesthood of Christ.— It is shown that Scripture itself makes reference to a type of priesthood which is quite distinct from the Levitical. The nature of this priesthood is set forth ( Hebrews 7:1-2 Samuel :) in terms of the description given in Genesis 14 of the priest Melchizedek. That some peculiar significance attached to him may be inferred from his name, and the name of his city. Still more suggestive is the fact that nothing is said as to his... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 7:5

This is a proof by instance out of the Levitical law, that he who receiveth is greater than he who giveth. And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood: the seed of Levi the son of Jacob, son of Isaac, son of Abraham, Numbers 1:48-50; Numbers 3:1-5, and not all of them neither, but the sons of Levi descending from Aaron, were separated and consecrated in the priesthood by God’s precept, and vindicated from those who would usurp it, Numbers 16:1-17:13,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 7:6

The proof is here applied, showing Melchisedec to be greater, not than the Levitical priest only, but than Abraham himself. But he whose descent is not counted from them; he drew not his genealogy from any priests before him, but is greater than those priests, who by genealogy and succession were made such, and set above their brethern by God himself: he being independent, having no progenitor, priest, or successor, is greater than whom he decimateth. Received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 7:7

This principle is commonly acknowledged, it is a most apparent truth, you Hebrews cannot deny it; it is your common judgment, that a priest blessing, as God’s officer, is greater than those blessed by him. He that is in a lower state in God’s church, is blessed by one set above him in office by God himself, better and greater than he for his place and dignity in office. He must have the pre-eminency for his blessing, which he authoritatively, powerfully, and effectually conveyeth from God to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 7:8

His greatness as to his priesthood above the Levitical, is proved from its immortality. Immortal is greater and better than mortal; such is his order of priesthood. This argument he brings in to heighten the former, and so connects it to it. And here men that die receive tithes: the particle ωδε, here, if referred to time, notes during Moses’s economy, while the Levitical law lasted; if it refer to place, it notes Jerusalem in the land of Canaan, where the temple was: in that habitation of the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 7:9

And as I may so say: the Spirit now sets this priesthood above the Levitical by instance, which instance being not so proper or direct, his form of introducing it is considerable, as ως επος ειπειν, as to say the word, which is a Greek elegancy of speech, when that is uttered which is remarkable, and yet hard to be understood; and it is not only conclusive to what was spoken before, I will speak a word more, and then end the discourse, but interpretative of what he was about to say concerning... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 7:10

For, introduceth the proof, that Levi tithed in Abraham, being virtually in him, as his productive cause; so near is the unity and identity of descending children; and as truly were the posterity of Adam in him when he ate, sinned, and fell, Romans 5:12. To remove all question of the truth of it, the time is annexed to it, when Melchisedec met Abraham, and blessed him, then did Levi pay tenths in him; so as Melchisedec was greater than the Levitical priest: Christ, typified by him, being... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 7:11

If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood: now the Spirit infers from the doctrine of Melchisedec’s priesthood, the dignity and perpetuity of Christ’s, typified by it: so that it is not Aaron’s priesthood, but Christ’s, which the Hebrews were to use for their salvation after Aaron’s was expired. For perfection was not to be had by Aaron’s priesthood or law, but by a better, of another order, even Christ and his law. The form of these words are interrogative, implying a vehement... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 7:12

For the priesthood being changed: for refers to the expiration of the Aaronical order, to which these Hebrews now were not bound, for that a better priesthood and law were to fill up their room in the church. The Levitical priesthood was changed and abolished to make way for this; God designing that to continue for a time, and then to expire, when the truth perfecting it should take place. There is made of necessity a change also of the law; the mutation of the priesthood indispensably... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 7:13

For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe: that this priesthood was so altered, he proves by Christ’s being of another tribe than Levi. This is a periphrasis, describing the priest after Melchisedec’s order. Of whom was this said in Psalms 110:4, but of Christ, God-man, the royal High Priest of God? Matthew 21:42. He, as to his human nature, descended of the tribe of Judah, and not of Levi; and so the Aaronical priesthood was ended by him, Hebrews 2:14; Genesis 49:10.... read more
