"And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And inasmuch as not without an oath,.... Our version supplies as follows, he was made priest; which well agrees with what is said in the next verse; the Syriac version
renders it, "and which he confirmed to us by an oath"; that is, the better hope, Christ and his priesthood, said to be brought in, and by which men draw nigh to God; this is established by the oath of God himself referring to Psa 110:4 afterwards cited in proof of it.
