Abraham » Is blessed by melchizedek
flow Melchizedek king of Salem, had brought forth bread and wine, - he, being priest of GOD Most High. So he blessed him and said, - Blessed be Abram of GOD Most High, possessor of the heavens and earth; And blessed be GOD Most High, who hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. So he gave unto him a tenth of all.
For, this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him, - To whom even a tenth of all Abraham apportioned, first, indeed, when translated, King of Righteousness, but, after that, King of Salem also, which is King of Peace, - Without father, without mother, without pedigree, having, neither beginning of days, nor of life an end, but made like unto the Son of God, abideth a priest evermore. read more.
Now consider, how great, this man was, to whom, a tenth, Abraham gave out of the choicest spoils, Yea Abraham the Patriarch. And, they, indeed, from among the sons of Levi who the priesthood receive, have commandment to take tithes of the people, according to the law, that is, of their brethren, although sprung from the loins of Abraham; But, he who deriveth not his pedigree from among them, hath taken tithes of Abraham. And, the holder of the promises, hath he blessed. But, apart from all gainsaying, the less, by the greater, is blessed. And, here, indeed, dying men take tithes, but, there, one of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. And - so to say a word - through Abraham, even Levi who taketh tithes hath paid tithes; For, even then, was he, in the loins of his father, when, Melchizedek, met him.
