First, his name means 'King of Righteousness'; then also, he is 'King of Salem,' which means 'King of Peace.' 3 Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever. 4 Consider how great this man was: Even Abraham, the patriarch, gave him a tenth of the best spoils. 5 Now the sons of Levi who receive the priesthood are commanded by the law to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—even though they too are descendants of Abraham. 6 But this man, who does not trace his descent from them, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises. 7 It is universally recognized that the lesser is blessed by the greater. 8 In one case, mortal men receive tithes, but in the other case, it is testified that he lives. 9 And to say it another way, Levi, who collects tithes, also paid tithes through Abraham. 10 For he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.
