Hebreos 7:8

8 Aquí, ciertamente hombres mortales reciben el diezmo, pero allí, los recibe uno de quien se da testimonio de que vive.

Hebreos 7:8 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 7:8

And here men that die receive tithes,
&c,] The priests and Levites were not only men, and mortal men, subject to death, but they did die, and so did not continue, by reason of death, ( Hebrews 7:24 )

but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth;
which is to be understood of Melchizedek; who is not opposed to men, as if he was not a man, nor to mortal men, but to men that die; nor is he said to be immortal, but to live: and this may respect the silence of the Scripture concerning him, which gives no account of his death; and may be interpreted of the perpetuity of his priesthood, and of his living in his antitype Christ; and the testimony concerning him is in ( Psalms 110:4 ) .

Hebreos 7:8 In-Context

6 Pero aquel cuya genealogía no viene de ellos, recibió el diezmo de Abraham y bendijo al que tenía las promesas.
7 Y sin discusión alguna, el menor es bendecido por el mayor.
8 Aquí, ciertamente hombres mortales reciben el diezmo, pero allí, los recibe uno de quien se da testimonio de que vive.
9 Y, por decirlo así, por medio de Abraham aun Leví, que recibía diezmos, pagaba diezmos,
10 porque aún estaba en los lomos de su padre cuando Melquisedec le salió al encuentro.
