Listen to Ebrei 7:7
7 Ora, fuor d’ogni contradizione, ciò che è minore è benedetto da ciò che è più eccellente.

Ebrei 7:7 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 7:7

And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the
greater.
] This is a self-evident truth, and is undeniable; it admits of no controversy, and cannot be gainsaid, that he that blesseth is greater in that respect than he that is blessed by him; as the priests were greater in their office than the people who were blessed by them; and so Melchizedek, as a priest of the most high God, and as blessing Abraham, was greater than he; and so must be greater than the Levites, who sprung from him; and his priesthood be more excellent than theirs; and consequently Christ, his antitype, and who was of his order, must be greater too; which is the design of the apostle throughout the whole of his reasoning.

Ebrei 7:7 In-Context

5 Or quelli, d’infra i figliuoli di Levi, i quali ottengono il sacerdozio, hanno bene il comandamento, secondo la legge, di prender le decime dal popolo, cioè dai lor fratelli, benchè sieno usciti de’ lombi di Abrahamo.
6 Ma quel che non trae il suo legnaggio da loro decimò Abrahamo, e benedisse colui che avea le promesse.
7 Ora, fuor d’ogni contradizione, ciò che è minore è benedetto da ciò che è più eccellente.
8 Oltre a ciò, qui son gli uomini mortali che prendono le decime; ma là le prende colui di cui è testimoniato che egli vive.
9 E per dir così, in Abrahamo fu decimato Levi stesso, che prende le decime.
