Commentary

Commentary on Hebrews 7:6

Theological / Devotional

Descent is not counted from them. See on v. 3. Only Levites could receive tithe. Melchisedec was not a Levite, and yet he received tithe from Abraham. Abraham has met a man greater than he is. He recognizes Melchisedec’s superiority and pays the priest tithe.

Blessed him. See Gen. 14:19.

Had the promises. See on eh. 6:13, 15.
