Hebrews 7:16 Who is made. The Levitical priesthood based their claims on a law of a carnal commandment. a fleshly claim, that of hereditary right. Eleazer succeeded Aaron (Numbers 20:28) because he was his son, and so each high priest. The power of an endless life. The claim of the great high priest is not fleshly descent, but that he lives forever. He demonstrated his title to the office by rising from the dead. He was exalted to the kingly priesthood when he arose from the dead (Ephesians 1:20).
