Contextual Overview

¹¹ If therefore perfection was by the priesthood of ye Leuites (For vnder that priesthood the people receaued the law) what neded it furthermore that another priest shoulde rise after the order of Melchisedech, and not to be called after the order of Aaron? ¹² For yf the priesthood be translated, of necessitie also there is made a translation of the lawe. ¹³ For he of whom these thynges are spoken, parteyneth vnto another tribe, of which no man stoode at the aulter. ¹⁴ For it is euident that our Lord sprong out of Iuda, of which tribe spake Moyses nothyng concernyng priesthood: ¹⁵ And it is yet a farre more euidet thing, yf after the similitude of Melchisedech there aryse another priest, ¹⁶ Which is not made after the lawe of the carnall commaundement, but after the power of the endlesse lyfe: ¹⁷ For he testifieth that thou art a priest for euer, after the order of Melchisedech. ¹⁸ For there is truely a disanulling of the commaundement goyng before, for the weakenesse and vnprofitablenesse therof. ¹⁹ For the lawe made nothyng perfect, but [was] the bryngyng in of a better hope, by the whiche we drawe nygh vnto God. ²⁰ And in as much as that was not without an oth (For those priestes were made without an oth:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And inasmuch as not without an oath,.... Our version supplies as follows,

he was made priest; which well agrees with what is said in the next verse; the Syriac version renders it, "and which he confirmed to us by an oath"; that is, the better hope, Christ and his priesthood, said to be brought in, and by which men draw nigh to God; this is established by the oath of God himself referring to Psalms 110:4 afterwards cited in proof of it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And inasmuch as not without an oath - In addition to every other consideration showing the superiority of Christ as a priest, there was the solemnity of the oath by which he was set apart to the office. The appointment of one to the office of priest by an oath, such as occurred in the case of Jesus, was much more solemn and important than where the office was received merely by descent.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 20. Not without an oath — "The apostle's reasoning here is founded on this, that God never interposed his oath, except to show the certainty and immutability of the thing sworn. Thus he sware to Abraham, Genesis 22:16-18, that in his seed all the nations of the earth should be blessed; and to the rebellious Israelites, Deuteronomy 1:34; Deuteronomy 1:35, that they should not enter into his rest; and to Moses, Deuteronomy 4:21, that he should not go into Canaan; and to David, Psalms 89:4, that his seed should endure for ever, and his throne unto all generations. Wherefore, since Christ was made a priest, not without an oath that he should be a priest for ever, after the similitude of Melchisedec, that circumstance showed God's immutable resolution never to change or abolish his priesthood, nor to change or abolish the covenant which was established on his priesthood; whereas the Levitical priesthood and the law of Moses, being established without an oath, were thereby declared to be changeable at God's pleasure." This judicious note is from Dr. Macknight.
