_ _ as I may so say — to preclude what he is about to say being taken in the mere literal sense; I may say that, virtually, Levi, in the person of his father Abraham, acknowledged Melchisedec’s superiority, and paid tithes to him.
_ _ who receiveth tithes — (Compare Hebrews 7:5).
_ _ in Abraham — Greek, “by means of (by the hand of) Abraham”; through Abraham. “Paid tithes,” literally, “hath been tithed,” that is, been taken tithes of. |
Hebrews 7:9
And even Levi, who received tithes — Not in person, but in his successors, as it were, paid tithes — In the person of Abraham. |
Hebrews 7:9
(4) And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
(4) A twofold amplification: The first, that Melchizedek took the tithes as one immortal (that is, in respect that he is the figure of Christ, for his death is not mentioned, and David sets him forth as an everlasting Priest) but the Levitical priests, took tithes as mortal men, for they succeed one another: the second, that Levi himself, though yet in Abraham, was tithed by Melchizedek. Therefore the priesthood of Melchizedek (that is, Christ's, who is pronounced to be an everlasting Priest according to this order) is more excellent than the Levitical priesthood. |
