20 where Jesus entered as forerunner for us, having become a High Priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.
7 1 For this "Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God," the one meeting Abraham "returning from the slaughter" "of the kings," "and blessing him;"
2 to whom also Abraham "divided a tenth from all" (first being interpreted, king of righteousness; and then also king of Salem, which is, king of peace, Gen. 14:17-20
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, nor beginning of days, nor having end of life, but having been made like the Son of God, he remains a priest in perpetuity).
4 Now behold how great this one was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils;
5 and indeed those of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood have a command to tithe the people according to Law, (that is, from their brothers, though coming forth out of Abraham's loins),
6 but he not counting his genealogy from them has tithed Abraham, and has blessed the one having the promises.
7 But without contradiction, the lesser is blessed by the better.
8 And here dying men indeed receive tithes, but there it having been witnessed that he lives;
9 and as a word to say, through Abraham Levi also, the one receiving tithes, has been tithed.
10 For he was yet in his father's loins when Melchizedek met him.
