Psalm 110:4
He will not change it.
He has promised, ‘You will be a
in the same way that Melchizedek was my priest.’
110:4Melchizedek was both a king and a priest . See Genesis 14:18-20. Later, the Israelite priests had to be Levites, so they were not the right family to be kings. Jesus was not a Levite, but he was a priest like Melchizedek. See Hebrews 5:6; 6:20; 7:17. A Levite is a person who belonged to the tribe of Levi, one of the 12 tribes of Israel. God chose the Levites to do special work for him in his temple . They helped the priests in the temple.
