Hebrews 7:16 (KJV)
Commentary on Hebrews 7:16
Christ became priest 'not after the law of a carnal commandment' (the Levitical requirement of tribal descent) but 'after the power of an endless life' (Greek 'zoes akatalytou'—indestructible life). His priesthood rests not on physical qualifications but on resurrection power. The Aaronic priesthood was 'carnal' (Greek 'sarkikos'—fleshly) in being based on physical descent; Christ's is spiritual and eternal.
