V. 20.— And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest. Here the Apostle proceeds to another point of superiority of the priesthood of Christ, proceeding still to comment on Psalms 110.

He had shown that Christ’ s priesthood was everlasting, while the Levitical priesthood passed from father to son; and here he proceeds to another argument for its superiority— it was made with an oath. Our translators have inserted a supplement, “He was made a priest,” which is necessary for completing the sense.
