Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests The Levitical priesthood was established under the Mosaic Law, as detailed in the books of Exodus and Leviticus. The tribe of Levi was set apart for religious duties, and only the descendants of Aaron, a Levite, could serve as priests. This command is rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where the Levites were chosen to serve in the tabernacle and later the temple, performing sacrifices and maintaining the sacred rituals. This priesthood is a type of the greater priesthood of Jesus Christ, who is described as a priest in the order of Melchizedek, transcending the Levitical order. to collect a tenth from the people that is, from their brothers though they too are descended from Abraham Persons / Places / Events 1.

It teaches us about stewardship and the importance of supporting God's work financially.

We are called to contribute to the spiritual and material needs of our community. Faithfulness in Giving The practice of tithing is an act of faith and obedience.

In Hebrews 5:5, where is the historical evidence for God directly declaring Jesus as priest in a manner consistent with Israel's established priesthood? What Does Hebrews 7:5 Mean Now the law commands• The phrase points back to the commands God gave through Moses (Exodus 24:3; Deuteronomy 5:1). • The authority is divine, not human; obedience to these statutes was non-negotiable (Psalm 19:7). • In Hebrews, the author highlights the temporary, preparatory nature of the Mosaic Law while still affirming its God-given status (Hebrews 7:11). The sons of Levi who become priests • Levi’s tribe was set apart to serve at the tabernacle and later the temple (Numbers 3:5-10; 8:14-19). • Only Aaron’s descendants handled sacrifices, but all Levites assisted; their calling was hereditary, illustrating God’s sovereign choice (Malachi 2:4-7). • This hereditary priesthood contrasts with Jesus’ priesthood after Melchizedek, which is based on an oath, not lineage (Hebrews 7:21). To collect a tenth from the people • A “tenth” (tithe) belonged to the Lord and was given to the Levites for their ministry (Leviticus 27:30-33; Numbers 18:21, 24). • The tithe provided practical support—food, housing, and resources—so priests could focus on worship duties (2 Chronicles 31:4-5; Nehemiah 13:10-12). • Jesus affirmed the principle of tithing while stressing weightier matters of the law (Matthew 23:23). That is, from their brothers • Those who tithed were fellow Israelites—family in the covenant (Deuteronomy 14:28-29). • The arrangement underscored mutual responsibility: the people supplied the Levites, and the Levites represented the people before God (Acts 4:32; Galatians 6:6). • This family language heightens the humility required of priests; they served relatives, not strangers (1 Timothy 5:17-18). Though they too are descended from Abraham • Levites shared the same patriarch as the rest of Israel (Genesis 12:1-3; 17:7). • Their privileged role did not make them spiritually superior; they needed atonement like everyone else (Hebrews 7:27). • This shared lineage prepares the argument that an even greater priest—Jesus, also Abraham’s offspring through Judah—supersedes the Levitical system (Hebrews 7:14; Romans 4:16). summary Hebrews 7:5 reminds readers that God’s Law assigned the Levites, Abraham’s own descendants, to collect tithes from fellow Israelites. This divinely ordained system supplied the priesthood and highlighted the interconnected family of faith. Yet the verse also sets the stage for showing its limitations: priests who shared Abraham’s blood still required provision and sacrifice, pointing to the need for a perfect, eternal Priest—Jesus Christ—whose superior ministry fulfills and surpasses the Levitical order. (5) They that are of the sons.--Rather, those of the sons of Levi that receive, &c. There is an apparent difficulty here. The priests, it is urged, did not receive tithes from the people; the tithe was paid to the Levites, and but the tenth part of this tithe fell to the lot of the priests. Two considerations seem entirely to remove this difficulty. (1) The question is not one of emolument, but of position. The authority to exact tithes was in strictness vested in the priests, the supreme guardians of the laws relating to all religious duties and observances, and the Levites were but their assistants. That the priests received for their own use but a part of the tribute paid by the nation is a matter of no moment here. (2) The Levites themselves paid tithes to the priests, who therefore stood alone in receiving tithes but paying none. It is the positive ordinance of the law, and nothing but this, that raises brethren above brethren, and gives to the priest this claim upon men who would otherwise be on an equality with himself through common descent from Abraham.Verses 5-7. - And they indeed of the song of Levi who receive the office of priesthood have commandment to receive tithes of the people according to the Law, that is, of their brethren, though these have come out of the loins of Abraham: but he whose genealogy is not counted from them hath received tithes of Abraham. As much as to say, "Let it not be said that the tithing of Abraham by Melchizedek implies no higher priestly prerogative than the tithing of Abraham's descendants by the sons of Aaron; for there is this difference: They, in virtue only of a special ordinance of the Law, not of original right, were allowed to tithe their brethren, though descended from the same great ancestor; he, though not of them or of the race at all, in virtue of his own inherent dignity, tithes the whole race as represented in its patriarch." (We observe how, in place of the aorist ἔδωκε, used when the mere historical incident was referred to, we have here the perfect δεδεκάτωκε (as also εὐλόγηκε in what follows, and δεδεκάτωται in ver. 9), denoting a completed act, of which the effects and significance remain; Melchizedek, who represents the priesthood after his order, being viewed in permanent relation to Abraham, who represents the chosen race.) And hath blessed him that hath (i.e. the holder of) the promises. But, without all controversy, the less is blessed of the better. The superiority evidenced by bestowal of blessing no less than by receiving of tithe having been thus noticed, the contrast with the Levitical priesthood is continued in the following verses.Parallel Commentaries ...
