For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
Si Jesús estuviera aquí en la tierra haciendo las tareas regulares de sacerdote, ni siquiera calificaría como sacerdote de todas formas, porque ya tenemos sacerdotes que se encargan de las ofrendas del templo y siguen todas las leyes religiosas.
Jesús no sería sacerdote según el sistema terrenal porque ya existe un sacerdocio establecido para esas funciones.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Old Testament, priests were chosen exclusively from the tribe of Levi, specifically descendants of Aaron, and their role was to offer sacrifices and gifts in the earthly tabernacle as mandated by the Mosaic Law. The book of Hebrews, written to Jewish Christians facing persecution, contrasts this earthly priesthood with Jesus' superior ministry, emphasizing that He could not serve as a priest on earth because He was from the tribe of Judah. This highlights the transition from the old covenant's limitations to the new covenant's fulfillment in Christ.
