Hebrews 7:1-7

Sawyer(i) 1 (2:6) For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham as he returned from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 2 to whom also Abraham gave a tenth of all, first being interpreted king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace, 3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither a beginning of days nor end of life, but being made like the Son of God, continues a priest forever. 4 (2:7) And behold, how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils. 5 And the sons of Levi who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to tithe the people according to the law, that is their brothers, although descended from Abraham; 6 but he whose descent is not reckoned from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him who has the promises. 7 But beyond all contradiction, the less is blessed by the greater.
