Ebrei 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 ) .

Ebrei 7:8 In-Context

6 quello, invece, che non è della loro stirpe, prese la decima da Abramo e benedisse colui che avea le promesse!
7 Ora, senza contraddizione, l’inferiore è benedetto dal superiore;
8 e poi, qui, quelli che prendon le decime son degli uomini mortali; ma lĂ  le prende uno di cui si attesta che vive.
9 E, per così dire, nella persona d’Abramo, Levi stesso, che prende le decime, fu sottoposto alla decima;
10 perch’egli era ancora ne’ lombi di suo padre, quando Melchisedec incontrò Abramo.
