Heb 7:3 Without father, without mother. See PNT "Heb 7:1". Nor end of life. None as he appears in history. As far as he is revealed to us, he is a living character, one that lives right on, like unto the Son of God. The Apostle does not affirm this was absolutely so, but that it is thus that Melchizedek appears on the background of early history. He abideth, in the Sacred Record, "a priest continually".
