Hebrews 7:3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Footnotes

1. 7.3 without father: i.e., the father is not mentioned in scripture.
2. 7.3 neither beginning of days nor end of life: So too here, they are not mentioned in scripture either. Thus his priesthood can be taken to foreshadow or symbolize the Christian priesthood. “You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek” (Ps 110.4; cf. Heb 7.17).
