Commentary on Hebrews 7:10
Levi was 'still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.' This emphasizes the representative principle and establishes temporal priority - Melchizedek's priesthood predates the Levitical priesthood by centuries. What existed before the law and outside its system can also exist after it. Christ's priesthood isn't a novelty but a return to the superior, pre-Levitical order instituted by God's oath.
