2to 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,)
3without 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.

5and 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;
6and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he hath blessed,
7and apart from all controversy, the less by the better is blessed --
8and here, indeed, men who die do receive tithes, and there `he', who is testified to that he was living,
9and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, hath paid tithes,
10for he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchisedek met him.

1And the sum concerning the things spoken of `is': we have such a chief priest, who did sit down at the right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens,
2of the holy places a servant, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord did set up, and not man,
3for every chief priest to offer both gifts and sacrifices is appointed, whence `it is' necessary for this one to have also something that he may offer;
4for if, indeed, he were upon earth, he would not be a priest -- (there being the priests who are offering according to the law, the gifts,
5who unto an example and shadow do serve of the heavenly things, as Moses hath been divinely warned, being about to construct the tabernacle, for `See (saith He) thou mayest make all things according to the pattern that was shewn to thee in the mount;') --
6and now he hath obtained a more excellent service, how much also of a better covenant is he mediator, which on better promises hath been sanctioned,
7for if that first were faultless, a place would not have been sought for a second.
