Heb 7:28. Ὁ νόμος γὰρ· ὁ λόγος δὲ, for the law: but the word) The antithesis is very express, as the conjunction is put after the nouns.-ὁ λόγος, the word) rendered as strong as possible in consequence of the oath.-τῆς μετὰ τὸν νόμον) Not only the word, but the oath of God, is said to have been given after the law (comp. v. 18) in the time of David, and that too by David, as GOD very often swears by the mouth of the prophets. Comp. Act 2:30, where Peter speaks of the kingdom of Christ sanctioned by an oath in that same age. Paul is reasoning from the order of revelations, as Gal 3:17, note. Below, ch. Heb 10:7; Heb 10:16.-Υἱὸν) Son of GOD. The antithesis is, men having infirmity.-εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, for ever) It is thus resolved: The Son (once made perfect) was constituted a priest for ever, ch. Heb 5:9-10, note. Absolute eternity is here intended. Jesus continues a priest for ever. His work being finished, His state remains.
