hebrews 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

hebrews 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.

14. evident--literally, "manifest before the eyes" as a thing indisputable; a proof that whatever difficulties may now appear, then Jesus Christ's genealogy labored under none.
our Lord--the only place where this now common title occurs without "Jesus," or "Christ," except 2Pe 3:15.
sprang--as a plant, and a branch.
Judah-- Ge 49:10; Lu 1:27, 39 (Hebron of Judah, where LIGHTFOOT thinks Jesus was conceived) Lu 2:4, 5; Re 5:5.
of which tribe . . . priesthood--"in respect to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests" (so the oldest manuscripts read, nothing to imply that priests were to be taken from it).

hebrews 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
