Do Writers of the Christian-Greek Scriptures (NT) Quote the Hebrew Bible Verbatim?

The answer is complicated.

    What are your thoughts on Hebrews 7:1-3 where the statement in vv.3 says, "without beginning of days" what does that entail? Especially after Trinitarians made this refer to Jesus.

    JLM, I agree basically with what Meyer writes here: https://biblehub.com/commentaries/hebrews/7-3.htm

    Strictly sppeaking, the words at 7:3 apply to Melchiedek and only secondarily to Jesus, who is a king-priest in the manner of Melchizedek. People read way too much into the text while ignoring the word ἀγενεαλόγητος

    They seem to quote the LXX verbatim

    JLM,

    Ken Schenck offers a very thoughtful interpretation of the application of Melchizedek language to Jesus. I don't have time to re-read it and type it out here, but the entire book is worth adding to your library, which is:
