Abraham,our ancestor,gave him a tenth (of all){he got/ in the battle}.  05 / <And> those descendants (of Levi) {who are priests} are commanded  <by the law> to collect a tenth  <from the

  [Hebrews 05] [HEBREWS]  希伯來書 05 [A] Jesus in the Line of Succession        to Melchizedek 01/ Every high priest is chosen <from the fellow- men> and appointed to serve God <on their behave>, to offer sacrifices and offerings <for sins>. 02/ <Since> he himself is weak <in many ways>,// he is able to be gentle <with those> {who are ignorant and make mistakes}. 03/ <and> <because> he is himself weak,// he must offer sacrifices <not only> <for the sins of the people> <but also> <for his own sins>. 04/ No one chooses for <himself> the honour of being a high priest. ## It is only by God's call {that a man is made a high priest- <just as> Aron was. 05/ <In the same way>, Christ did not take upon himself the honour of being a high priest. ## <Instead>, God said to him, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father." 06/ He also said<

It just as God said, "I was angry and made a solemn promise: "THEY WILL NEVER ENTER THE LAND {WHERE I WOULD HAVE GIVEN THEM THE REST}. ## God said this  <even though> his work had been finished <from the time>{he created the world}. 04/ <For> <somewhere in the Scriptures> this is said <about the seventh day>: "God rested on the seventh day  <from

Think of Jesus, {whom God sent to be the High Priest of faith} {we profess}. 02/ He was faithful to God {who chose him to do this work} <just as> Moses was faithful <in his work in God's house>. 03/ A mam {who builds a house} receives more honor <than the house itself>. <In the same way> Jesus is worthy of much greater honor <than Moses>. 04/ Every house, of course, is built <by someone>, <and> God is the ONE {who has built all things}. 05/ Moses was faithful <in God's house> <as a servant> <and> he spoke of the things {that God would say in the future}. 06/ <But> Christ is faithful <as the Son> <in charge of God's house>. We are his house <if> we keep up our courage and confidence <in what we hope for>. .....
