Commentary on Hebrews 5:6
The second proof text (Psalm 110:4) introduces Christ's priesthood 'after the order of Melchizedek,' distinct from Aaron's. The phrase 'for ever' (Greek 'eis ton aiona') indicates permanence versus the temporary Aaronic priesthood. 'Order' (Greek 'taxis') means rank, arrangement, or succession—Christ's priesthood follows a different and superior pattern established by the mysterious king-priest Melchizedek.
