In Hebrews 7:1-10 we again see “inclusio” or bookends (an ancient way of pointing out that everything between the bookends is one thought and significant). Additionally, we encounter a chiasm. Chiasms are a literary technique used by writers of old to further define important information the reader needed to know.

This passage points out that since Jesus High Priesthood similar to Melchizedek and therefore the concept of a tithe continues to be important today.
This podcast is a live recording of a non-denominational Bible study led by Dr. Val. Some 20-25 men meet each week at 6:30 AM for an hour. They study and discuss the passage. Questions are encouraged and often lead to rabbit trails that help us discover and process additional Biblical truths.
