Contextual Overview

¹¹ The people were given the law concerning the system of priests from the tribe of Levi, but they could not be made perfect through that system. So there was a need for another priest to come, a priest like Melchizedek, not Aaron. ¹² And when a different kind of priest comes, the law must be changed, too. ¹³ We are saying these things about Christ, who belonged to a different tribe. No one from that tribe ever served as a priest at the altar. ¹⁴ It is clear that our Lord came from the tribe of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests belonging to that tribe. ¹⁵ And this becomes even more clear when we see that another priest comes who is like Melchizedek. ¹⁶ He was not made a priest by human rules and laws but through the power of his life, which continues forever. ¹⁷ It is said about him, "You are a priest forever, a priest like Melchizedek." Psalm 110:4 ¹⁸ The old rule is now set aside, because it was weak and useless. ¹⁹ The law of Moses could not make anything perfect. But now a better hope has been given to us, and with this hope we can come near to God. ²⁰ It is important that God did this with an oath. Others became priests without an oath,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Psalms 110:4- :.

thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec; see Hebrews 5:6.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For he testifieth - “That this is the true account of it is proved by the testimony of God himself, that he was to be a priest for ever;” see the note on Hebrews 5:6.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 17. For he testifieth — That is, either the Scripture, in the place so often quoted, or God by that Scripture.

Thou art a priest for ever — This is the proof that he was not appointed according to the carnal commandment, but according to the power of an endless life, because he is a priest for ever; i.e. one that never dies, and is never disabled from performing the important functions of his office; for if he be a priest for ever, he ever lives.
