Hebrews 7:16
_ _ carnal ... endless — mutually contrasted. As “form” and “power” are opposed, 2 Timothy 3:5; so here “the law” and “power,” compare Romans 8:3, “The law was weak through the flesh”; and Hebrews 7:18, “weakness.” “The law” is here not the law in general, but the statute as to the priesthood. “Carnal,” as being only outward and temporary, is contrasted with “endless,” or, as Greek, “indissoluble.” Commandments is contrasted with “life.” The law can give a commandment, but it cannot give life (Hebrews 7:19). But our High Priest’s inherent “power,” now in heaven, has in Him “life for ever”; Hebrews 9:14, “through the eternal Spirit”; Hebrews 7:25, “able ... ever liveth” (John 5:26). It is in the power of His resurrection life, not of His earthly life, that Christ officiates as a Priest. |
Hebrews 7:16
Who is made — A priest. Not after the law of a carnal commandment — Not according to the Mosaic law, which consisted chiefly of commandments that were carnal, compared to the spirituality of the gospel. But after the power of an endless life — Which he has in himself, as the eternal Son of God. |
Hebrews 7:16
(8) Who is made, not after the (g) law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
(8) He proves the diversity and excellency of the institution of Melchizedek's priesthood, by this that the priesthood of the law rested on an outward and bodily anointing: but the sacrifice of Melchizedek is set out to be everlasting and more spiritual.
(g) Not after the ordination, which commands frail ad temporary things, as was done in Aaron's consecration, and all of that whole priesthood. |
- the law:
Hebrews 9:9-10 Which [was] a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; ... [Which stood] only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed [on them] until the time of reformation.
Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Galatians 4:3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
Galatians 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Colossians 2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

Hebrews 7:21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

Hebrews 7:28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, [maketh] the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
