But to get a good idea of what this phrase really means, lets begin by looking at it in the original Hebrew.  Where the KJV has &#8220;after the order of Melchizedek&#8221; the actual Hebrew is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">\u05e2\u05b7\u05dc\u05be\u05d3\u05b4\u05bc\u059d\u05d1\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05ea\u05b4\u0597\u05d9 \u05de\u05b7\u05dc\u05b0\u05db\u05b4\u05bc\u05d9\u05be\u05e6\u05b6\u05bd\u05d3\u05b6\u05e7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This phrase \u05e2\u05b7\u05dc\u05be\u05d3\u05b4\u05bc\u059d\u05d1\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05ea\u05b4\u0597\u05d9 is a compound of two words \u05e2\u05dc which is a preposition meaning &#8220;about, concerning, upon&#8221; and \u05d3\u05d1\u05e8\u05ea\u05d9 &#8220;word, speech, cause&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does this phrase mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the primary Jewish tradition, the \u201cyou\u201d in Psalm 104:4 who is told \u201cyou are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek\u201d (Ps. 110:4) is Avraham, and the event refers to Gen. 14:18-20<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rashi comments on Ps. 110:4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>you are a priest forever because of the speech of Malchizedek:<\/strong> From you will emerge the priesthood and the kingship that your children will inherit from Shem your progenitor, the priesthood and the kingship, which were given to him. \u05d3\u05b4\u05d1\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9 \u05de\u05dc\u05db\u05d9-\u05e6\u05d3\u05e7. The \u201cyud\u201d is superfluous, like (Lam. 1: 1): \u201cthe city that was once so populous (\u05e8\u05d1\u05ea\u05d9).\u201d Because of the speech of Malchizedek, because of the command of Malchizedek. You are a priest, Heb. \u05db\u05d4\u05df. The word \u05db\u05d4\u05df bears the connotation of priesthood and rulership, as (II Sam. 8:18) : \u201cand David\u2019s sons were chief officers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This agrees with a tradition in the Midrash Rabbah:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>AND SAID UNTO HIM: ABRAHAM; AND HE SAID: HERE AM I (ib.). R. Joshua said: On two occasions Moses compared himself to Abraham, and God answered him, Glorify not thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men (Prov. XXV, 6). Now Abraham said, HERE AM I-<strong>ready for priesthood<\/strong>, ready for kingship, <strong>and he attained priesthood<\/strong> and kingship. <strong>He attained priesthood<\/strong>, as it says, The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever after the manner of Melchizedek (Ps. CX, 4); kingship: Thou art a mighty prince among us (Gen. XXIII, 5).  (Midrash Rabbah Genesis 55:6)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>R. Ishmael said: <strong>Abraham was a High Priest<\/strong>, as it says, The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever after the manner of Melchizedek (Ps. CX, 4). (Midrash Rabbah Genesis 46:5)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the Talmud:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>R. Zechariah said on R. Ishmael&#8217;s authority: The Holy One, blessed be He, intended to bring forth the priesthood from Shem, as it is written, And he [sc. Melchizedek] was the priest of the most high God.(Gen. 14:18) But because he gave precedence in his blessing to Abraham over God, He brought it forth from Abraham; as it is written, And he blessed him and said. Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth, and blessed be the most high God. (Gen. 14:19f) Said Abraham to him, \u2018Is the blessing of a servant to be given precedence over that of his master?\u2019 Straightway it [the priesthood] was given to Abraham, as it is written, The Lord said unto my Lord (i.e. Abraham see&nbsp; Ber. 7b), Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool; (Ps. 110:1) which is followed by, The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek,\u2019(Ps. 110:4) meaning, \u2018because of the words of Melchizedek.\u2019 Hence it is written, And he was a priest of the most High God, [implying that] he was a priest, but not his seed. (b.Nedarim 32b)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to this tradition the priesthood diverted from Shem\u2019s direct line, to Avraham because of Melchizedek\u2019s words.&nbsp; The Talmud going so far as to indicate this was a penalty for Melchizedek\u2019s words in Gen. 14:18-19.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabbi Abraham ben Meir Ibn Ezra (Hebrew: \u05d0\u05b7\u05d1\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4\u05b8\u05dd \u05d0\u05b4\u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05df \u05e2\u05b6\u05d6\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0 or \u05e8\u05d0\u05d1&#8221;\u05e2\u200e\u200e\u200e, also known as Abenezra or Aben Ezra, 1089\u20131167) was one of the most distinguished Jewish biblical commentators and philosophers of the Middle Ages. His is one of the classic commentators included in the <em><strong>Miqrat Gedolot<\/strong><\/em>. He writes in his commentary on Exodus. 19:6:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>A Kingdom of Priests. <\/strong>In my opinion, \u201cpriest\u201d in the Bible means \u201cone who serves,\u201d just as the verbal form is taken in 28:41 to mean \u201cserve me as priests.\u201d Jethro is the \u201cpriest of Midian\u201d (18:1) because he served God, as did Melchizedek of Salem, the \u201cpriest of God Most High\u201d (Gen. 14:18). The same is true when David\u2019s sons are called \u201cpriests\u201d in 2Sam. 8:18. There would be no point in telling us that they were \u201cprinces,\u201d for we know that a king\u2019s sons possess high rank; this verse informs us that they served God. So telling Israel that they will be \u201ca kingdom of priests\u201d means, \u201cBy means of you, My kingdom shall appear, when you are serving Me.\u201d But others understand it to mean \u201cThere is no kingship other than serving Me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He seems to identify the priesthood \u201cafter the order of Melchizedek\u201d with the general priesthood of the Assembly of Israel as a \u201ckingdom of priests\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And you shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak unto the children of Israel.<br>(Ex. 19:6)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>But you shall be named the Priests of YHWH: men shall call you the Ministers of our Elohim: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall you boast yourselves.<br>(Isaiah 61:6)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:<br>(1Kefa 2:9)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following this interpretation, then, Abraham, and by extension, the Assembly of Israel are called a Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek, and then Psalms 110 can be applied as midrash to Messiah, because the Messiah and Israel have an allegorical relationship.
