4 Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!
4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
4 See how great this man was to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils!
4 You realize just how great Melchizedek is when you see that Father Abraham gave him a tenth of the captured treasure.
4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils.
4 Consider then how great this Melchizedek was. Even Abraham, the great patriarch of Israel, recognized this by giving him a tenth of what he had taken in battle.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Hebrews 7:4
Commentary on Hebrews 7:4-10
(Read Hebrews 7:4-10)
That High Priest who should afterward appear, of whom Melchizedec was a type, must be much superior to the Levitical priests. Observe Abraham's great dignity and happiness; that he had the promises. That man is rich and happy indeed, who has the promises, both of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This honour have all those who receive the Lord Jesus. Let us go forth in our spiritual conflicts, trusting in his word and strength, ascribing our victories to his grace, and desiring to be met and blessed by him in all our ways.
