And notice how great this man was, to whom also the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the best spoils. Now indeed those of the sons of Levi who receive the priesthood have commandment to collect tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, although having come out of the loins of Abraham. But the man who did not descend from them has received tithes from Abraham, and has blessed the man having the promises. And without all contradiction the inferior is blessed by the superior. And here indeed, men who die receive tithes, but there, he who is testified about that he lives. And, so to speak, Levi also, the man who receives tithes, has paid tithes through Abraham, for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar), and they set the battle in array against them in the valley of Siddim, against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five. Now the valley of Siddim was full of slime pits. And the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there. And those who remained fled to the mountain. And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way. And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed. And some man came who had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew. Now he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner. And these were allies with Abram. And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan. And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. And he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot, and his goods, and also the women, and the people. And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (the same is the King's Valley). And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine. And he was priest of God Most High. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth. And blessed be God Most High, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And [Abram] gave him a tenth of all. And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the men, and take the goods to thyself. And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to LORD, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth, that I will not take a thread nor a shoe latchet nor anything that is thine, lest thou should say, I have made Abram rich, except only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion.

And notice how great this man was, to whom also the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the best spoils. Now indeed those of the sons of Levi who receive the priesthood have commandment to collect tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, although having come out of the loins of Abraham. But the man who did not descend from them has received tithes from Abraham, and has blessed the man having the promises. And without all contradiction the inferior is blessed by the superior. And here indeed, men who die receive tithes, but there, he who is testified about that he lives. And, so to speak, Levi also, the man who receives tithes, has paid tithes through Abraham, for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him. If indeed therefore perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people had received the law), what further need is there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated For the priesthood being changed, of necessity a change of law also occurs. For he of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, from which no man has attended to the altar. For it is evident that our Lord arose out of Judah, regarding which tribe Moses spoke nothing about the priesthood. And it is still far more evident, if according to the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest, who has become, not according to a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indestructible life. For he testifies, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.
