Heb. 7:1‑10• 1For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, that met Abraham returning from smiting the kings, and blessed him;
 2to whom also Abraham divided a tenth from all, first being interpreted King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is peace,
 3without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but assimilated to the Son of God, abideth a priest continuously.
 4Now consider how great he [was] to whom the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the spoils.
 5And they indeed from among the sons of Levi that receive the priesthood have commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though these have come out of the loins of Abraham;
 6but he who hath no genealogy from them hath tithed Abraham, and hath blessed him that hath the promises.
 7Now apart from all dispute the less is blessed by the better.
 8And here dying men receive tithes, but there one witnessed of that he liveth;
 9and, so to speak, through Abraham even Levi that receiveth tithes hath been tithed.
