And to him Abraham gave a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.

See how great he was! Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the spoils.

And those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these also are descended from Abraham.

But this man whose genealogy is not derived from them received a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
