  • Heb 7:1-9 : 1 This Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, met Abraham as he returned from defeating the kings and blessed him. 2 Abraham 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.' 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.

  • Gal 4:21-31 : 21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and one by the free woman. 23 But the son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, while the son by the free woman was born through the promise. 24 Now these things may be interpreted allegorically: These women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery—this is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written: 'Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than those of the one who has a husband.' 28 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29 But just as the one born according to the flesh persecuted the one born through the Spirit, so it is also now. 30 But what does the Scripture say? 'Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.' 31 So then, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
