    1This Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, met Abraham as he returned from defeating the kings and blessed him.

    2Abraham also gave him a tenth of everything. First, his name means 'King of Righteousness'; then also, he is 'King of Salem,' which means 'King of Peace.'

    3Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.

    4Consider how great this man was: Even Abraham, the patriarch, gave him a tenth of the best spoils.

    7It is universally recognized that the lesser is blessed by the greater.

    8In one case, mortal men receive tithes, but in the other case, it is testified that he lives.

    9And to say it another way, Levi, who collects tithes, also paid tithes through Abraham.

    10For he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.

    11If perfection could have been achieved through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), why was there still a need for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, rather than one according to the order of Aaron?
