For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham as he returned from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

but he whose descent is not reckoned from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him who has the promises.

But beyond all contradiction, the less is blessed by the greater.

By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in respect to things to come.

By faith Jacob dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshipped leaning on the top of his staff.
