Hebrews 7:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 7:5

3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.

4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the¹ spoils.

5 And indeed ^athose who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham;

6 but he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham ^aand blessed ^bhim who had the promises.

7 Now beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better.
