TSNTyndale Study Notes:

7:4 The point of this section (7:1-10) is to have the readers consider . . . how great this Melchizedek was by comparing him to the descendants of Levi. Melchizedek was so great that Abraham gave him a tenth of the spoils of battle (Gen 14:20).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces the next thing that the author wants to say about Melchizedek. It does not introduce a contrast with the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces further development, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Now]

θεωρεῖτε

/be/_observing

Alternate translation: [observe] or [see]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

οὗτος

this_‹one›

The phrase this one refers to Melchizedek. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make explicit that the phrase refers to Melchizedek. Alternate translation: [this Melchizedek was]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ᾧ δεκάτην Ἀβραὰμ, ἔδωκεν ἐκ τῶν ἀκροθινίων, ὁ πατριάρχης

˱to˲_whom /a/_tenth Abraham gave out_of the best_spoils the patriarch

Here the audience would have agreed that the person who is “greater” would receive the tenth from the person who is not as great. If your readers would not make this inference or agree that this is true, you may need to make the reasoning explicit. Alternate translation: [to whom the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth from the best plunder, which is what people do for a greater person]
