Your understanding of Hebrews 7:9 will be enhanced by following God’s 2Timothy 2:15, 20-21 instructions and studying all of the 7^th chapter of Hebrews. Greek adjective 3516 nepios has never described and qualified “babes” it has always described and qualified God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” who have negated {de-testified} all the previously spoken words of human beings {excluding Jesus Christ} as commanded in the Greek words of Luke 14:26 fully defined in prior posts.

English “pulpit” emboldened in Nehemiah 8:4 “And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam”  was translated from Hebrew masculine noun H4026 migdal  which was translated into English “tower” being the “tower” of “Babel” of Genesis 11:4-9. English “distinctly” emboldened in Nehemiah 8:8 “So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading” was translated from Hebrew verb H6567 paras which was translated into “that are scattered” in “As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day” and into “stingeth” in “At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder”.

Greek verb 4355 proslambano is from a compound of Greek preposition 4314 pros denoting direction toward {in the genitive case}, as a grammatical subject draws their grammatical objects close. Greek verb 2983 lambano means to take for one’s self but Greek preposition 4314 pros denotes a long or even life long process while God performs the action of Greek verb 4355 proslambano. God’s “seven thousand” “election” receive God’s spiritual thoughts and ways via God’s performance of Greek verb 4355 proslambano. When any flesh social network {including the world’s 4,351 religions} perform the action of Greek verb 4355 proslambano their grammatical objects receive the flesh thoughts and feelings of their flesh grammatical subject. Greek conjunction 1161 de can be either adversative or continuative. Greek conjunction 235 alla always denotes an adversative position between what precedes and what follows Greek conjunction 235 alla. Greek particle 3361 me is a primary particle of qualified negation while Greek particle 3756 ou is a primary particle of absolute negation which brings us to Greek adjective 3516 nepios which describes and qualifies God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election”. Greek adjective 3516 nepios is from ne which is a prefix of negation and Greek neuter noun 2031 epos which are the previously spoken words of flesh human beings as confirmed in the Greek words of Hebrews 7:9 where English “I may so say” were translated from Greek neuter noun 2031 epos corroborating the fact that the apostle Paul was reiterating the previously spoken words of “Levi” who was the first of the Levitical priesthood as Jesus is the first of “seven thousand” “election” “after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron”  “These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood” “And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam” “So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading” “Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites” “If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for under it the people received the law, what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron”? “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them”. 

Back to English “not” in Romans 14:1 which was translated from Greek particle 3361 me which is a primary particle of qualified negation which was 486 times translated into English “not” and 44 times translated into English “no” while Greek particle 3756 ou {often used as an adverb} always meaning absolute negation was 1,210 times translated into English “not” and 147 times translated into English “no” exemplifying why God’s truth does not reside in the English words but rather in the Hebrew and Greek words from which the English words were translated.

My job is not to tell people what the bible means but to document the fact that God came to earth in the embodiment of Jesus Christ and others, to divide “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” from this earth age’s other 8 billion human beings pursuant to God’s will, which is well translated in the English words of 1Timothy 2:3-4 and to protect the other 8 billion human beings from Matthew 12:32 by precluding them from God’s spirit during this earth age. Most English bible verses were hosed up by the flesh thoughts and feelings of flesh translators 412 years ago which was always part of God’s process pursuant to God’s will.

Greek conjunction 1161 de can be either adversative or continuative. Greek conjunction 235 alla always denotes an adversative position between what precedes and what follows Greek conjunction 235 alla. Greek particle 3361 me is a primary particle of qualified negation while Greek particle 3756 ou is a primary particle of absolute negation which brings us to Greek adjective 3516 nepios which describes and qualifies God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election”. Greek adjective 3516 nepios is from ne which is a prefix of negation and Greek neuter noun 2031 epos which are the previously spoken words of flesh human beings as confirmed in the Greek words of Hebrews 7:9 where English “I may so say” was translated from Greek neuter noun 2031 epos corroborating the fact that the apostle Paul was reiterating the previously spoken words of “Levi” who was the first of the Levitical priesthood as Jesus is the first of “seven thousand” “election” “after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron”  “These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood” “And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam” “So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading” “Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites” “If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for under it the people received the law, what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron”? “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them”.  English “for” emboldened in Hebrews 7:25 was translated from Greek preposition 5228 huper meaning over in the genitive case as grammatical subjects are over their grammatical objects. God came to earth in the embodiment of Jesus Christ and died on a Roman cross to be our one and only grammatical subject. Ask yourself if God likes being displaced as our spiritual grammatical subject by flesh human beings?

English “distinctly” emboldened in Nehemiah 8:8 “So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading” was translated from Hebrew verb H6567 paras which was translated into “that are scattered” in “As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day” and into “stingeth” in “At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder”.

Levi [Great-grandfather of Moses and Aaron] was the first in the lineage of the Levitical priesthood as Jesus is the first of “seven thousand” “election” “after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron” “These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood”. The crux of the 7^th chapter of Nehemiah is that the Levitical Priesthood was infiltrated by descendants of Cain and others to the extent that no one was left of the genealogy of Levi who was the namesake of the Levitical priesthood. God displaced the Levitical priesthood with God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” who achieved the “first resurrection” of Revelation 20:5-6 “But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection” “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” confirming that God is in the process of displacing a flesh Levitical priesthood with a spiritual priesthood of “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election”.

Your understanding of Hebrews 7:4-11 will be enhanced by following God’s 2Timothy 2:15, 20-21 instructions and studying all of the 7^th and 8^th chapters of Hebrews. Greek adjective 3516 nepios has never described and qualified “babes” it has always described and qualified God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” who have negated {de-testified} all the previously spoken words of human beings {excluding Jesus Christ} as commanded in the Greek words of Luke 14:26 fully defined in prior posts.

Romans 15:7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

English “receive ye” and “received” emboldened in Romans 15:7 were translated from Greek verb 4355 proslambano which is from a compound of Greek preposition 4314 pros denoting direction toward {in the genitive case}, as a grammatical subject draws their grammatical objects close. Greek verb 2983 lambano means to take for one’s self but Greek preposition 4314 pros denotes a long or even life long process while God performs the action of Greek verb 4355 proslambano. God’s “seven thousand” “election” receive God’s spiritual thoughts and ways via God’s performance of Greek verb 4355 proslambano. When any flesh social network {including the world’s 4,351 religions} perform the action of Greek verb 4355 proslambano their grammatical objects receive the flesh thoughts and feelings of their flesh grammatical subject. Greek conjunction 1161 de can be either adversative or continuative. Greek conjunction 235 alla always denotes an adversative position between what precedes and what follows Greek conjunction 235 alla. Greek particle 3361 me is a primary particle of qualified negation while Greek particle 3756 ou is a primary particle of absolute negation which brings us to Greek adjective 3516 nepios which describes and qualifies God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election”.

The crux of the 7^th chapter of Nehemiah is that the Levitical Priesthood was infiltrated by descendants of Cain to the extent that no one was left of the genealogy of Levi who was the namesake of the Levitical priesthood.  

English “thou shalt be condemned” emboldened in Matthew 12:37 “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned” was translated from Greek verb 2613 katadikazo which is from a compound of Greek preposition 2596 kata and a derivative of Greek feminine noun 1349 dike which technically means right as defined by the human being who is performing the action of Greek verb 2613 katadikazo who are usually the purveyors of the false narrative hell. Greek preposition 2596 kata technically means down in the genitive case as grammatical objects are down from their grammatical subject but Greek preposition 2596 kata was 107 times translated into English “according to” because the thoughts and feelings of the grammatical object is “according to” the thoughts and feelings of their grammatical subject, which is why you never want a flesh grammatical subject. God is waiting for his “election” to make hate His footstool and there is no hate greater than hell.

English “thou shalt be justified” emboldened in Matthew 12:37 “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned” was translated from Greek verb 1344 dikaioo which generically means to make right per God’s definition of right. When God performs the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaioo during this earth age God specifically makes “seven thousand” “election” right per God’s definition of right.
