Thayer's Greek Lexicon
τάξις, τάξεως, ἡ (τάσσω), from Aeschylus and Herodotus down;
1. an arranging, arrangement.
2. order, i. e. a fixed succession observing also a fixed time: Luk 1:8.
3. due or right order: κατά τάξιν, in order, 1Co 14:40; orderly condition, Col 2:5 (some give it here a military sense, ’orderly array’, see στερέωμα, c.).
4. the post, rank, or position which one holds in civil or other affairs; and since this position generally depends on one’s talents, experience, resources, τάξις becomes equivalent to character, fashion, quality, style, (2Ma 9:18 2Ma 1:19; οὐ γάρ ἱστορίας, ἀλλά κουρεακης λαλιᾶς ἐμοί δοκοῦσι τάξιν ἔχειν, Polybius 3, 20, 5): κατά τήν τάξιν (for which in Heb 7:15 we have κατά τήν ὁμοιότητα) Μελχισέδεκ, after the manner of the priesthood (A. V. order) of Melchizedek (according to the Sept. of Psa 109:5 () עַל־דִּבְרָתִי), Heb 5:6; Heb 5:10; Heb 6:20; Heb 7:11; Heb 7:17; Heb 7:21 (where T Tr WH omit the phrase).
