This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Heb 7:5. Τὸν λαὸν, the people) An abbreviated expression, to be resolved into a subject and predicate consisting each of two members. The priests (and Levites) tithe (the Levites and) the people, Num 18:21; Num 18:26; Neh 10:38. So the style of Paul admits, Rom 5:16, note.-κατὰ τὸν νόμον) according to or in the law, ch. Heb 9:19.-ἀδελφοὺς, brethren) with whom they are of the same natural condition. To these, however, are preferred the Levites; to these latter, the priests; to these again, Abraham: to Abraham is preferred Melchisedec.
