|Hebreus 7:1| This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,
-
|Hebreus 7:2| and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.”
-
|Hebreus 7:3| Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.
-
|Hebreus 7:4| Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!
-
|Hebreus 7:5| Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people-that is, from their fellow Israelites-even though they also are descended from Abraham.
-
|Hebreus 7:6| This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
-
|Hebreus 7:7| And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater.
-
|Hebreus 7:8| In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living.
-
|Hebreus 7:9| One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham,
-
|Hebreus 7:10| because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.
