1 For this Melchisedek king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him,
2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all the spoils; being by interpretation, first king of righteousness, and then king of Salem also, which is king of peace;
3 Without father, without mother, without pedigree, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but being made like the son of God, remaineth a priest continually.
4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils,
5 And verily they of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment (according to the law) to take tithes of the people, that is, of their brethren, tho' they come out of the loins of Abraham.
6 But he whose pedigree is not from them, took tythes of Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises:
7 And without all contradiction, the less is blessed of the greater.
8 And here men that die receive tithes: but there, he of whom it is witnessed, that he liveth.
9 And even Levi, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes (so to speak) thro' Abraham.
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedek met him.
