Hebreos 7:10 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 7:10

For he was yet in the loins of his father
Abraham; namely, Levi and his whole posterity; which is to be understood seminally, just as all mankind were in the loins of Adam, when he sinned and fell, and so they sinned and fell in him; and so Levi was in Abraham's loins,

when Melchisedec met him;
which, as it proves Melchizedek to be greater than Levi, and much more Jesus Christ, who is a priest of his order, which is the grand thing the apostle has in view; so it serves to illustrate several points of doctrine, in which either of the public heads, Adam and Christ, are concerned, with respect to their seed and offspring; such as personal election in Christ, an eternal donation of all blessings of grace to the elect in him, eternal justification in him, the doctrine of original sin, and the saints' crucifixion, burial, resurrection, and session in Christ, and together with him.

Hebreos 7:10 In-Context

8 Del mismo modo, aquí ciertamente los hombres mortales toman los diezmos; mas allí, aquel los tomó del cual está dado testimonio que vive;
9 y, (por decir, así) en Abraham pagó diezmos también el mismo Leví, que recibe los diezmos;
10 porque aún Leví estaba en los lomos de su padre, cuando Melquisedec salió a recibirlo.
11 Pues si la perfección era por el sacerdocio levítico (porque bajo él recibió el pueblo la Ley) ¿qué necesidad había aún de que se levantase otro sacerdote según el orden de Melquisedec, y que no fuese llamado según el orden de Aarón?
12 Pues traspasado el sacerdocio, necesario es que se haga también traspasamiento de la Ley.
