And it is yet far more evident - · And besides, it is more abundantly strikingly manifest. It is very difficult to translate these words, but the apostle' s meaning is plain, viz., that God designed the Levitical priesthood to be changed, because of the oath in Psalms 110:1-7, where, addressing the Messiah, he says: Thou art a Priest for ever after the order, or ̔ , similitude, of Melchisedec, who was not only a priest, but also a king. None of the Levitical priests sustained this double office; but they both, with that of prophet, appear and were exercised in the person of our Lord, who is the Priest to which the apostle alludes.
