Melchizedek » A priest and type of Christ
Where a forerunner in our behalf hath entered, even Jesus, who, according to the rank of Melchizedek, hath become, a high-priest unto times age-abiding.
As also, in a different place, he saith - Thou, art a priest, age-abidingly, according to the rank of Melchizedek:
Being addressed by God as high-priest - according to the rank of Melchizedek.
For, this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him, - To whom even a tenth of all Abraham apportioned, first, indeed, when translated, King of Righteousness, but, after that, King of Salem also, which is King of Peace, - Without father, without mother, without pedigree, having, neither beginning of days, nor of life an end, but made like unto the Son of God, abideth a priest evermore. read more.
Now consider, how great, this man was, to whom, a tenth, Abraham gave out of the choicest spoils, Yea Abraham the Patriarch. And, they, indeed, from among the sons of Levi who the priesthood receive, have commandment to take tithes of the people, according to the law, that is, of their brethren, although sprung from the loins of Abraham; But, he who deriveth not his pedigree from among them, hath taken tithes of Abraham. And, the holder of the promises, hath he blessed. But, apart from all gainsaying, the less, by the greater, is blessed. And, here, indeed, dying men take tithes, but, there, one of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

Who, not according to a law of commandment dealing with the flesh, hath arisen, but according to the power of an indissoluble life; For it is witnessed - Thou, art a priest, age-abidingly, according to the rank of Melchizedek. For, a setting aside, doth, indeed, take place, of a foregoing commandment, by reason of its own weakness and unprofitableness, - For, the law, perfected, nothing; but there is the superinducing of a better hope, - through which we draw near unto God. And, inasmuch as not apart from oath-taking - For, they, indeed, apart from oath-taking, have been made priests, but, he, with an oath-taking, through him that was saying unto him - The Lord sware, and will not regret, - Thou, art a priest, age-abidingly
