Abraham » Is blessed by melchizedek
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.
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, having met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, also blessed him. To whom also Abraham divided a tenth of all. Being actually translated, first, king of righteousness, and then also, king of Salem, which is king of peace, without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but having been made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually. read more.
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.

Melchizedek » A priest and type of Christ
where the forerunner, Jesus, entered for us, having become a high priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.
(And just as he says in another, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.)

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. For indeed there becomes an annulment of a preceding commandment because of its weakness and uselessness (for the law made nothing fully perfect), and an introduction of a better hope, through which we approach God. And inasmuch as it is not without an oath. For actually those who become priests are so without an oath, but he with an oath, because of him who says to him, The Lord swore and will not change his mind, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.
