Hebrews Chapter 7 verse 21 Holy Bible

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21) For those priests.--Rather, For they indeed have been made priests without an oath.By him that said unto him.--Better, by (or, through) Him that saith of Him. The last five words of the verse are absent from the best authorities: they were not needed for this part of the argument, and are therefore omitted from the quotation. All that has been said in chap. 6 (Hebrews 6:13-18) on confirmation by oath must be brought in here (see Notes on Hebrews 6:16-17): the words of the Psalm are really words of promise, and the "more abundant encouragement" is given us by means of the oath that shall never be reversed.Parallel Commentaries ...Greekbutδὲ (de)ConjunctionStrong's 1161: A primary particle; but, and, etc.[Jesus became a priest]ὁ (ho)Article - Nominative Masculine SingularStrong's 3588: The, the definite article.
