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 (Neh_7:64). Greek.inary priests began their service at thirty, and ended at fifty, years of age (Num_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.
