And inasmuch as not without an oath, etc..] 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 (<19B004>Psalm 110:4) afterwards cited in proof of it.
