7:10 For he was still in his ancestor Abraham’s loins ⁴  when Melchizedek met him.

[7:5]  ¹ tn Or “the priesthood.”

[7:5]  ² tn Grk “from their brothers.” See BDAG 18-19 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.b.

[7:5]  ³ tn Grk “have come from the loins of Abraham.”

[7:10]  ⁴ tn Grk “in the loins of his father” (a reference to Abraham). The name “Abraham” has been repeated in the translation at this point (cf. v. 9) in order to clarify the referent (i.e., what ancestor was in view).
