Hebreeën 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 ) .

Hebreeën 7:8 In-Context

6 Maar hij, die zijn geslachtsrekening uit hen niet heeft, die heeft van Abraham tienden genomen, en hem, die de beloftenissen had, heeft hij gezegend.
7 Nu, zonder enig tegenspreken, hetgeen minder is, wordt gezegend van hetgeen meerder is.
8 En hier nemen wel tienden de mensen, die sterven, maar aldaar neemt ze die, van welken getuigd wordt, dat hij leeft.
9 En, om zo te spreken, ook Levi, die tienden neemt, heeft door Abraham tienden gegeven;
10 Want hij was nog in de lenden des vaders, als hem Melchizedek tegemoet ging.
