“And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:”
Hebrews 7:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Hebrews 7:20
Christ's priesthood was confirmed 'by an oath' - a crucial difference from Levitical priests who were appointed 'without an oath.' Divine oath-taking indicates immutability and supreme importance. God's oath establishes Christ's priesthood as unchangeable, unlike the Levitical which could be (and was) superseded. Reformed theology sees covenant oaths as demonstrating God's commitment to His redemptive purposes.
