Hebrews:7:1-10
rwbs@Hebrews:7:1 @ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
rwbs@Hebrews:7:2 @ To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
rwbs@Hebrews:7:3 @ Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. (note:)without descent: Gr. without pedigree(:note)
rwbs@Hebrews:7:4 @ Now consider how great this man, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
rwbs@Hebrews:7:5 @ And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they come from the loins of Abraham:
rwbs@Hebrews:7:6 @ But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. (note:)descent: or, pedigree(:note)
rwbs@Hebrews:7:7 @ And without any dispute the less is blessed by the better.
rwbs@Hebrews:7:8 @ And here men that die receive tithes; but there he, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
rwbs@Hebrews:7:9 @ And as I may say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
rwbs@Hebrews:7:10 @ For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him.
