**Verse 1**
The meaning is, that every human high priest is ordained for the service and benefit of men in respect to their religious duties.

**Verse 4**
*This honor;* the office of high priest.

**Verse 6**
The quotation is from [Hebrews 5:6](../../../kjv/hebrews/5/6); [Psalms 110:4](../../../kjv/psalms/110/4). It represents the Messiah as made a high priest by the declaration of God. The nature of the parallel intended to be drawn between Christ and Melchisedec is more fully explained in the [Hebrews 7:1-13](../../../kjv/hebrews/7/1-13).

**Verse 7**
*Who;* that is, Christ.--*In the days of his flesh;* of his life upon the earth.--*Heard, in that he feared;* in respect to that which he feared. ([Luke 22:41-43](../../../kjv/luke/22/41-43).)

**Verse 8**
*Yet learned he obedience,* &c. he learned by experience the lesson of obedience in suffering.

**Verse 9**
*Being made perfect;* being raised to his state of exaltation and glory.

**Verse 10**
*Called of God,* &c.; as before explained, in [Hebrews 5:6](../../../kjv/hebrews/5/6).

**Verse 11**
*Dull of hearing;* slow of understanding.

**Verse 12**
*The oracles of God;* the revealed will of God.

**Verse 14**
*Strong meat;* substantial food,--referring to the difficult truths alluded to in [Hebrews 5:11](../../../kjv/hebrews/5/11) .
