This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And, or therefore, ( as the particle is oft taken, i.e. because he was a priest of God),
he (i.e. Melchizedek)
blessed him, ( Abram,) which was one act of the priestly office. See Poole on "Heb_7:6". See Poole on "Heb_7:7". So it is a prayer for him, that God would confirm and increase the blessing which he had given him. Or, blessed is; so it is an acknowledgment of God’s blessing conferred upon Abram both formerly, and in this late and great victory. Or, blessed shall be; so it is a prediction concerning his future and further blessedness, whereof this was only an earnest.
