Hebrews 7 — Verse 6, 7

The Aethiopick Translation omits those words, [⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩]. He takes up the name Abraham in the fore-going verse, who came forth out of the loins of Abraham; and adds to them what follows in this, who received the Promise; possibly deceived by a maimed transcript of the Original.

[⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩]. Syr. [⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩] — He who is not written in their genealogies; properly enough; for the Apostle speaks of the genealogies that were written and on record in the Book of Genesis, wherein there is none of Melchisedec. And it is the writing by Divine Inspiration that his argument is founded on. Answ. Genealogisatus, Genealogised. Is cujus genus non recensetur ex illis; Whose stock is not reckoned from them; or as Beza, Ad illos non refertur. Vul. Lat. Cujus Generatio non annumeratur in eis; that is as the Rhemists, He whose generation is not numbered among them. Nor whose descent is not counted from them; putting Pedigree in the Margin. [⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩], is, is cujus ortus, generatio, nativitas recensetur; whose original, nativity, stock, race, is reckoned up or recorded.

[⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩], from them, from among them; Vul. Lat. in eis, for, inter eos, among them, whose generation is not numbered among them. The meaning is, he was not of their stock or race; he sprang not of them, nor arose from among them.

[⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩], decimas tulit, sumpsit, exegit, accepit, decimavit; [⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩], is decimo, or decimam partem excerpo; to take out the tenth part, [⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩]; Plut. in Camillo; ex spoliis hostium decimas excerpere, [⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩] with an accusative case as here, is to receive tithes of any; and [⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩], in the same construction, is of the same signification, ver. 5. [⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩]. But absolutely it signifies to pay tithes, or to give tithes, not to receive them (Luke 18:12). [⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩], I tithe all that I possess; that is, give tithe out of it.
