Verse Concepts [Now] we have many things to say about Melchizedek, but because of your slowness to grasp things, they are hard to explain.
For certainly enough time has elapsed so that [by now] you ought to be teachers, [but instead] you are in need of having someone teach you again the basic principles of God's message. You have become people who need "milk" and not "solid food." [Note: The fundamental truths of Christianity are here figuratively spoken of as "milk," while the more advanced teaching, such as Christ's priesthood being like Melchizedek's, is called "solid food"].
where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

Verse Concepts Abraham gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything. In the first place, his name means "king of righteousness," and then he is also king of Salem, that is, "king of peace."
with no father or mother, and no record of ancestry: having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made a type of the Son of God--this man Melchizedek remains a priest for ever.
Consider, then the importance of this Melchizedek, to whom even the Patriarch Abraham himself gave a tithe of the choicest spoils.
But Melchizedek who does not share their ancestry collected a tithe from Abraham and blessed the one who possessed the promise.
Mortal men collect tithes, but we are informed by Scripture that Melchizedek keeps on living.
for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.

Melchizedek » A priest and type of Christ
Where the forerunner, Jesus, went in for us, according to the order of Melchisedec, being a high priest forever.
And also in another he says, Thou a priest forever according to the order of Melchisedec.
Addressed by God the chief priest according to the order of Melchisedec.
For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, having met Abraham returning from the cutting off of the kings, and praised him; To whom also Abraham divided a tenth from all; (first truly interpreted King of justice, and then also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; Without father, without mother, of unknown origin, neither having beginning of days, nor end of life; and likened to the Son of God;) remains a priest perpetually. read more.
And behold how great this one, to whom also Abraham the patriarch gave the tenth of the first fruits. And they truly of the sons of Levi, receiving the office of priest, have a command to take a tenth part from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, although having come out of the loins of Abraham: And he not having his descent traced from them received a tenth from Abraham, and praised him having the promises. And without all controversy the less is praised of the better. And here truly dying men receive tenths; but there he, bearing witness that he lives. And as the word says, through Abraham, also Levi, receiving tenths, has paid a tenth. For yet was he in his father's loins, when Melchisedec met him. If truly therefore completion were by the Levitical priesthood, (for the people received legislation by it,) what further need according to the order of Melchisedec for another priest to be raised, and not according to the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being transferred, of necessity also is a transposition of law. For he of whom these things are said partook of another tribe, of which none held to the altar. For it is manifest that our Lord has sprung out of Judah; to which tribe Moses spake nothing of the priesthood. And it is yet more abundantly manifest: that according to the resemblance of Melchisedec has another priest risen, Who according to the law of a fleshly command was not born, but according to the power of an indestructible life. For he testifies, Thou a priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec. For there is truly an annulling of the command going before by its weakness and unprofitableness. (For the law completed nothing,) but the bringing in of a better hope; by which we draw near to God. And as much as not without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath: (For they truly without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath became priests; but he with the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath by him, saying to him, The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec:)
