continually . See App-151 . Melchisedec is presented to us without reference to any human qualifications for office. His genealogy is not recorded, so essential in the case of Aaron's sons (Nehemiah 7:64 ). Greek.inary priests began their service at thirty, and ended at fifty, years of age (Numbers 4:47 ). The high priest succeeded on the day of his predecessor's decease. Melchisedec has no such dates recorded; he had neither beginning of days nor end of life. We only know that he lived , and thus he is a fitting type of One Who lives continually.
