[Greek or Hebrew], Sir. [Greek or Hebrew] By the Hand of the Priesthood of Levi himself; Because Levi himself received not the Priesthood in his own Person, but his Posterity: Tremellius renders it Levitarum, the Priesthood of Levites. The Original leaves no scruple: By the Levitical Priesthood. The Priesthood that was confined to the House, Family, Tribe, and Posterity of Levi.

[Greek or Hebrew], M. S. [Greek or Hebrew], corruptly; Nam sub hoc, populo sancita est Lex, Beza. For under it the Law was established to the People. Sub ipso populus legem accepit, acceperat; Sir. [Greek or Hebrew] by whom, or whereby the Law was imposed upon the People; if [Greek or Hebrew] by whom, relate unto Levi, the sense is mistaken; and much more by the Arab. who takes the Law only for the Law of the Sacerdotal Office, from which it is plainly distinguished. The Ethiopic reads the whole Verse to this purpose. And the People did according to the Law of the Priesthood which was appointed; what need was there therefore that he should give another Priest, whose appointment one should say was according to Melchizedek? which Argues the great unskilfulness of that Interpreter.
