📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Hebrews, the author is building an argument to show that Jesus' priesthood is superior to the old Levitical priesthood established through Aaron and his descendants. The verse refers to the biblical account in Genesis where Abraham met Melchizedek, a mysterious priest-king, and paid him tithes, illustrating that Levi, as Abraham's descendant, was figuratively present in his ancestor during this encounter. This highlights the eternal nature of Melchizedek's priesthood, which foreshadows Christ's.
