Hebrews:7:1-10
ylt@Hebrews:7:1 @For this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who did meet Abraham turning back from the smiting of the kings, and did bless him,
ylt@Hebrews:7:2 @to whom also a tenth of all did Abraham divide, (first, indeed, being interpreted, 'King of righteousness,' and then also, King of Salem, which is, King of Peace,)
ylt@Hebrews:7:3 @without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, and being made like to the Son of God, doth remain a priest continually.
ylt@Hebrews:7:4 @And see how great this one [is], to whom also a tenth Abraham the patriarch did give out of the best of the spoils,
ylt@Hebrews:7:5 @and those, indeed, out of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood, a command have to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, their brethren, even though they came forth out of the loins of Abraham;
ylt@Hebrews:7:6 @and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he hath blessed,
ylt@Hebrews:7:7 @and apart from all controversy, the less by the better is blessed --
ylt@Hebrews:7:8 @and here, indeed, men who die do receive tithes, and there [he], who is testified to that he was living,
ylt@Hebrews:7:9 @and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, hath paid tithes,
ylt@Hebrews:7:10 @for he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchisedek met him.
