²² For it is written, that Abraham had two sons: one by the bondmaid, and one by the free woman. ²³ But he, indeed, who was of the bondmaid, was begotten according to the flesh; but he who was of the free woman, was through the promise. ²⁴ Which things are allegorized: for these women are two institutions; the one, indeed, from Mount Sinai, bringing forth children into bondage, which is Hagar, ²⁵ (for the name of Hagar denotes Mount Sinai, in Arabia,) and she answers to the present Jerusalem, and is in bondage with her children. ²⁶ But the Jerusalem above, is the free woman, who is our mother. ²⁷ For it is written, "Rejoice, O barren woman, who didst not bring forth! Break out and cry, thou who travailest not in birth; for more are the children of the deserted, than of her who had the husband." ²⁸ We, therefore, brethren, like Isaac, are children by promise. ²⁹ But even as then, he who was begotten according to the flesh, persecuted him who was begotten according to the Spirit: so also now. ³⁰ But what says the scripture? "Cast out the bondmaid and her son; for the son of the bondmaid shall not inherit with the son of the free woman." ³¹ Well, then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondmaid, but of the free woman.

¹ For this Melchisedec-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 Abraham imparted even a tenth of all; being, indeed, by interpretation, first, king of righteousness, and next, also, king of Salem; which, by interpretation, is king of peace- ³ was without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginnings of days, nor end of life: but, being made like the Son of God, he remains a priest continually. ⁴ Now, consider how great this priest was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth of the spoils. ⁵ For they, indeed, of the sons of Levi, who received the priesthood, have a commandment to tithe people according to the law; that is, their brethren, although they have come forth from the loins of Abraham: ⁶ but he, who did not derive his pedigree from their progenitors, tithed Abraham, and blessed the holder of the promises. ⁷ Now, beyond all contradiction, the less is blessed by the greater. ⁸ Besides, here, indeed, men, who die, take tithes; but there one, of whom it is testified that he lives. ⁹ And, as one may say, even Levi, who receives tithes, was tithed in Abraham: ¹⁰ for he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
