Commentary on Hebrews 7:6
Melchizedek, 'whose genealogy is not derived from them' (not a Levite), received tithes from Abraham and 'blessed him who had the promises.' Blessing implies superiority - the lesser is blessed by the greater (7:7). Abraham, who held God's covenant promises, was blessed by Melchizedek. This demonstrates Melchizedek's (and typologically Christ's) supreme priestly authority, independent of Levitical descent.
