Hebrews 7:1-10 — Melchizedek the Priest

Heb.7.1-10

¹For this Melchizedek, king of Salem , priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, ²to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth of everything (first being translated “king of righteousness,” and then also “king of Salem,” which is “king of peace”; ³without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but having been made like the Son of God), he remains a priest for all time. ⁴Now consider how great this man was, to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the best spoils. ⁵And those of the sons of Levi who receive the priesthood have a command to collect a tenth from the people according to the law, that is, from their brothers, even though they have come from the loins of Abraham. ⁶But he who does not trace his genealogy from them has collected a tenth from Abraham , and has blessed him who had the promises. ⁷And without any dispute, the lesser person is blessed by the greater. ⁸And here mortal men receive tithes, but there one receives them of whom it is testified that he lives. ⁹And so to speak, through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes; ¹⁰for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.
