ġ5 This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, 16 who has become a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent, but by the power of an indestructible life. 14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended b from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. 13 For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. Jesus Compared to Melchizedekġ1 a Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood ( for under it the people received the law ), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron ? 12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. 9 One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, 10 for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him. 8 In the one case tithes are received by mortal men, but in the other case, by one y of whom it is testified that z he lives. 7 It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior.

6 But this man w who does not have his descent from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed x him who had the promises.

Ĥ See how great this man was to whom Abraham u the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils ! 5 And v those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, 1 though these also are descended from Abraham. 3 He is without father or mother t or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest forever. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.

ħ For this q Melchizedek, king of r Salem, priest of s the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 2 and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything.
