FOR this Melchisedec, king of Salem, a priest of God most high, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; to whom also Abraham gave a tenth share of all the spoil: being, as the interpretation of his name imports, first, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, that is, King of peace: without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but in exact resemblance with the Son of God, abideth a priest for ever. read more.
Now observe how great is this [Melchisedec], to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave the tenth of the spoils. For they indeed of the sons of Levi, who are admitted to priesthood, have an order to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though also sprung from the loins of Abraham. But he who derived not his genealogy from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises; but without all dispute the inferior receives benediction from the superior. And here indeed dying men receive the tithes, but there he hath a testimony borne to him that he liveth. And, if I may so say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes. For he was as yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him. If therefore there was perfection by the Levitical priesthood (for under that the people had the law given to them), what farther need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

For the testimony is, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. For there is indeed an abrogation of the preceding command, because of its weakness and inutility. For the law led to no perfection, but was an introduction to a better hope, by which we draw nigh unto God. Moreover, forasmuch as he was not [made priest] without an oath, (for they indeed were made priests without an oath; but he with an oath, by him who said unto him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:")
