Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 7:2-3

Hebrews 7:2-3. To whom also Abraham gave a tenth of all Namely, of all the spoils of the vanquished kings, (Hebrews 7:4,) but not a tenth also of the goods that had been taken from the king of Sodom and from Lot; for of these Abraham took nothing to himself. By paying tithes to Melchisedec, Abraham acknowledged him to be a priest of the true God. It seems, indeed, his being supernaturally appointed a priest by God, was known through all that country. Being first According to the meaning... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 7:1-10

7:1-10:18 CHRIST’S PRIESTHOOD AND SACRIFICEThe priesthood of Melchizedek (7:1-10)Jesus Christ’s high priesthood is far superior to Aaron’s. Christ belongs to the priestly order of Melchizedek, a priesthood that existed before, and is far higher than, that of Aaron. (For the background concerning Melchizedek see Genesis 14:17-24 and Psalms 110:4.) Melchizedek was both a priest and a king, a combination not allowed in the Aaronic priesthood. In the Levitical order, people kept strict records of... read more

CHRIST; THE ANTITYPE OF MELCHIZEDEK;JESUS' PRIESTHOOD IS SUPERIOR TO THAT OF THE LEVITES;A DESCRIPTION OF JESUS; THE PERFECT HIGH PRIESTFor this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first by interpretation, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace, without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 7:1

Hebrews 7:1. For this Melchisedec,— The apostle had spoken of an high-priest after the order of Melchisedec thrice before, ch. Hebrews 5:6; Hebrews 5:10 Heb 6:20 and he had hinted, that he had many things to say of him, and hard to be understood; all therefore which has been said in the preceding chapter is a digression; from which he now returns, in order to explain what he meant by strong meat. He had proved before, that Christ was far more excellent than Moses; that he was as properly called... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 7:2

Hebrews 7:2. To whom also Abraham gave, &c.— Great as Abraham was, yet he gave tithes to, and was blessed by Melchisedec; and in consequence this priest was greater than Abraham; for, without dispute, he who receiveth the blessing, is inferior to him who giveth it. See Hebrews 7:7. Melchi signifies king, and Sedech, righteousness. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 7:3

Hebrews 7:3. Without father, without mother,— No more is intended by this, in the opinion of most of the great expositors than to observe, that the father and mother of Melchisedec are no where mentioned, nor are they pretended to be known; nor is any hint of his family taken notice of in the scriptures which speak of him. He was indeed king of Salem, that is, king of Jerusalem, as the Jews and ancient fathers commonly understood it. But it is no where said from whom he descended, nor who his... read more
