in another place: In the words that follow, Paul quotes from Ps 110:4. He quotes from this passage or alludes to it several times in this letter.—Heb 6:20; 7:3, 11, 17, 21; 10:12 and study note.
a priest forever in the manner of Melchizedek: This is the first time that Melchizedek is mentioned in the letter to the Hebrews. He was both a king and a priest in Abraham’s day. (Ge 14:18) Jesus did not inherit his priesthood from Melchizedek. Rather, he received a priesthood that was “in the manner of,” or similar to, that of Melchizedek. Apparently, God himself appointed Melchizedek as king and priest of the city of Salem. Likewise, God appointed Jesus as King of God’s Kingdom and as High Priest.—For more details about Melchizedek, see study notes on Heb 7:1.
