lont - Hebrews:7:1-10

lont@Hebrews:7:1 @ 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,

lont@Hebrews:7:2 @ 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-

lont@Hebrews:7:3 @ 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.

lont@Hebrews:7:4 @ Now, consider how great this priest was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth of the spoils.

lont@Hebrews:7:5 @ 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:

lont@Hebrews:7:6 @ but he, who did not derive his pedigree from their progenitors, tithed Abraham, and blessed the holder of the promises.

lont@Hebrews:7:7 @ Now, beyond all contradiction, the less is blessed by the greater.

lont@Hebrews:7:8 @ Besides, here, indeed, men, who die, take tithes; but there one, of whom it is testified that he lives.

lont@Hebrews:7:9 @ And, as one may say, even Levi, who receives tithes, was tithed in Abraham:

lont@Hebrews:7:10 @ for he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
