Hebrews 7

The chapter explains the priesthood of **Melchizedek**, king of Salem and priest of **God Most High** (ἐπὶ τοῦ θεοῦ ὑψίστου), portraying him as without genealogy, beginning, or end. It establishes **Jesus** as a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek (κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδέκ), superior to the Levitical priesthood due to its change with a different tribe, impermanent nature, and inability to perfect worshippers.
