web@Hebrews:7:1 @ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
web@Hebrews:7:2 @ to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace;
web@Hebrews:7:3 @ without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
web@Hebrews:7:4 @ Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best spoils.
web@Hebrews:7:5 @ They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
web@Hebrews:7:6 @ but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
web@Hebrews:7:7 @ But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
web@Hebrews:7:8 @ Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
web@Hebrews:7:9 @ We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
web@Hebrews:7:10 @ for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
