This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Another proof of superiority; the Levitical priests were many, as death caused the need of continually new ones being appointed in succession. Christ dies not, and so hath a priesthood which passes not from one to another.
were - Greek, “are made.”
many - one after another; opposed to His “unchangeable (that does not pass from one to another) priesthood” (Heb 7:24).
not suffered to continue - Greek, “hindered from permanently continuing,” namely, in the priesthood.
