Hebrews 7:13 (KJV)
Commentary on Hebrews 7:13
The one (Jesus) of whom these things are said 'belongs to another tribe' (Judah), 'from which no one has officiated at the altar.' This was a legal impossibility under the old covenant - Judah was the royal tribe, Levi the priestly. Christ's priesthood transcends and combines both offices (king-priest), fulfilling Melchizedek's dual role. Reformed theology sees Christ as Prophet, Priest, and King, holding all mediatorial offices.
