By men who die. "The priesthood of all Jewish priests terminates at a point in time, and the death of the high priest is a matter of record, because accurate accounts are kept of it." By one who lives. The fact that the scripture says nothing of Melchizedek's death is made to be a proof. We see him in the scripture only as a living priest (in contrast to the Jewish priests), and in this sense he is a type (symbolic picture) of Jesus the Son of God. Compare Psalms 110:4.
