Chapter 7

1 FOR this Mel-chis'e-dec was king of Sa lem, the priest of the most high God, who met A'bra-ham, returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

2 And to whom A'bra-ham also set aside a tenth part from the choice things he had with him. His name is interpreted King of righteousness, and again, King of Salem, which means King of peace.

3 Neither his father nor his mother is recorded in the genealogies; and neither the beginning of his days nor the end of his life; but, like the Son of God, his priesthood abides for ever.

4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave tithes and paid head tax.

5 For those sons of Levi who received the office of the priesthood, were authorized by law to take tithes from the people; even from their own brethren who also had come out of the loins of Abraham.

6 But this man who is not recorded in their genealogies took tithes even from Abraham, and blessed him who had received the promises.

7 Beyond dispute: he who was less was blessed by him who was greater than himself.

8 And here mortal men receive tithes; but there he, of whom the scripture testifies that he lives, receives them.

9 Speaking as a man, through A'bra-ham, even Levi who received tithes, also gave tithes.

10 For he was yet in the loins of his forefather Abraham, when Mel-chis'e-dec met him.

11 If therefore perfection had been reached by the Le-vit'ic-al priesthood, by which the law was enacted for the people, what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Mel-chis'e-dec? Otherwise, the scriptures would have said, that he would be after the order of Aaron.

12 Since there was a change in the priesthood, so also there was a change in the law.

13 For he, concerning whom these things are spoken, was born of another tribe, from which no man ever ministered at the altar.

14 For it is evident that our LORD sprang out of Juda, of which tribe Moses said nothing concerning the priesthood.

15 And yet, it is far more evident because he said that another priest would rise after the order of Mel-chis'e-dec,

16 One who was not appointed after the law of carnal commandments, but after the power of life which abides for ever.

17 For he testified concerning him, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchis'e- dec.

18 For the change which took place in the former law, was made on account of its weaknesses, and because it had become useless.

19 For the law made nothing perfect, but there has come in its place a better hope, by which we draw near to God.

20 And he confirmed it for us by oath.

21 For they were made priests without oaths; but this one was made a priest with an oath, as it was said concerning him by David, The LORD has sworn, and will not lie, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Mel-chis'edec.

22 All these things make a better covenant because Jesus is its surety.

23 And these priests were many, because they were mortal, and they were not permitted to continue because of death:

24 But this man, because he is immortal, has a priesthood which remains for ever.

25 Therefore he is able to forever save those who come to God by him because forever he lives to make intercession for them.

26 For this is the kind of high priest proper for us; pure, without evil, and undefiled, far away from sin, and made higher than the heavens;

27 And who needs not daily, as do those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for their own sins, and then for the people's, for this he did once when he offered up himself.

28 For the law appoints imperfect men priests; but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints the Son who is perfect for evermore.

Chapter 7

1 For1063 this3778 Melchizedek,3198 king935 of Salem,4532 priest2409 of the3588 most high5310 God,2316 who met4876 Abraham11 returning5290 from575 the3588 slaughter2871 of the3588 kings,935 and2532 blessed2127 him;846

2 To whom3739 also2532 Abraham11 gave3307 a tenth part1181 of575 all;3956 first4412 3303 being by interpretation2059 King935 of righteousness,1343 and1161 after that1899 also2532 King935 of Salem,4532 which is,3603 King935 of peace;1515

3 Without father,540 without mother,282 without descent,35 having2192 neither3383 beginning746 of days,2250 nor3383 end5056 of life;2222 but1161 made like unto871 the3588 Son5207 of God;2316 abideth3306 a priest2409 continually.1519 1336

4 Now1161 consider2334 how great4080 this man3778 was, unto whom3739 even2532 the3588 patriarch3966 Abraham11 gave1325 the tenth1181 of1537 the3588 spoils.205

5 And2532 verily3303 they3588 that are of1537 the3588 sons5207 of Levi,3017 who receive2983 the3588 office of the priesthood,2405 have2192 a commandment1785 to take tithes586 of the3588 people2992 according2596 to the3588 law,3551 that is,5123 of their848 brethren,80 though2539 they come1831 out of1537 the3588 loins3751 of Abraham: 11

6 But1161 he whose descent is not counted1075 3361 from1537 them846 received tithes1183 of Abraham,11 and2532 blessed2127 him that had2192 the3588 promises.1860

7 And1161 without5565 all3956 contradiction485 the3588 less1640 is blessed2127 of5259 the3588 better.2909

8 And2532 here5602 3303 men444 that die599 receive2983 tithes;1181 but1161 there1563 he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed3140 that3754 he liveth.2198

9 And2532 as I may so say,5613 2031 2036 Levi3017 also,2532 who receiveth2983 tithes,1181 paid tithes1183 in1223 Abraham.11

10 For1063 he was2258 yet2089 in1722 the3588 loins3751 of his father,3962 when3753 Melchizedek3198 met4876 him.846

11 If1487 3303 therefore3767 perfection5050 were2258 by1223 the3588 Levitical3020 priesthood,2420 (for1063 under1909 it846 the3588 people2992 received the law,)3549 what5101 further2089 need5532 was there that another2087 priest2409 should rise450 after2596 the3588 order5010 of Melchizedek,3198 and2532 not3756 be called3004 after2596 the3588 order5010 of Aaron?2

12 For1063 the3588 priesthood2420 being changed,3346 there is made1096 of1537 necessity318 a change3331 also2532 of the law.3551

13 For1063 he of1909 whom3739 these things5023 are spoken3004 pertaineth3348 to another2087 tribe,5443 of575 which3739 no man3762 gave attendance4337 at the3588 altar.2379

14 For1063 it is evident4271 that3754 our2257 Lord2962 sprang393 out of1537 Judah;2455 of1519 which3739 tribe5443 Moses3475 spake2980 nothing3762 concerning4012 priesthood.2420

15 And2532 it is2076 yet2089 far more4054 evident:2612 for that1487 after2596 the3588 similitude3665 of Melchizedek3198 there ariseth450 another2087 priest,2409

16 Who3739 is made,1096 not3756 after2596 the law3551 of a carnal4559 commandment,1785 but235 after2596 the power1411 of an endless179 life.2222

17 For1063 he testifieth,3140 Thou4771 art a priest2409 forever1519 165 after2596 the3588 order5010 of Melchizedek.3198

18 For1063 there is1096 verily3303 a disannulling115 of the commandment1785 going before4254 for1223 the3588 weakness772 and2532 unprofitableness512 thereof.846

19 For1063 the3588 law3551 made nothing perfect,5048 3762 but1161 the bringing in1898 of a better2909 hope1680 did; by1223 the which3739 we draw nigh1448 unto God.2316

20 And2532 inasmuch as2596 3745 not3756 without5565 an oath3728 he was made priest:

21 (For1063 those priests2409 3303 were1526 made1096 without5565 an oath;3728 but1161 this3588 with3326 an oath3728 by1223 him that said3004 unto4314 him,846 The Lord2962 swore3660 and2532 will not3756 repent,3338 Thou4771 art a priest2409 forever1519 165 after2596 the3588 order5010 of Melchizedek: )3198

22 By2596 so much5118 was Jesus2424 made1096 a surety1450 of a better2909 testament.1242

23 And2532 they3588 truly3303 were1526 many4119 priests,2409 because they were not suffered2967 to continue3887 by reason of death: 2288

24 But1161 this3588 man, because he846 continueth3306 ever,1519 165 hath2192 an unchangeable531 priesthood.2420

25 Wherefore3606 he is able1410 also2532 to save4982 them to1519 the3588 uttermost3838 that come4334 unto God2316 by1223 him,846 seeing he ever3842 liveth2198 to make intercession1793 for5228 them.846

26 For1063 such5108 a high priest749 became4241 us,2254 who is holy,3741 harmless,172 undefiled,283 separate5563 from575 sinners,268 and2532 made1096 higher5308 than the3588 heavens;3772

27 Who3739 needeth2192 318 not3756 daily,2596 2250 as5618 those high priests,749 to offer up399 sacrifice,2378 first4386 for5228 his own2398 sins,266 and then1899 for3588 the3588 people's:2992 for1063 this5124 he did4160 once,2178 when he offered up399 himself.1438

28 For1063 the3588 law3551 maketh2525 men444 high priests749 which have2192 infirmity;769 but1161 the3588 word3056 of the3588 oath,3728 which3588 was since3326 the3588 law,3551 maketh the Son,5207 who is consecrated5048 forevermore.1519 165

Chapter 7

1 FOR this Mel-chis'e-dec was king of Sa lem, the priest of the most high God, who met A'bra-ham, returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

1 For1063 this3778 Melchizedek,3198 king935 of Salem,4532 priest2409 of the3588 most high5310 God,2316 who met4876 Abraham11 returning5290 from575 the3588 slaughter2871 of the3588 kings,935 and2532 blessed2127 him;846

2 And to whom A'bra-ham also set aside a tenth part from the choice things he had with him. His name is interpreted King of righteousness, and again, King of Salem, which means King of peace.

2 To whom3739 also2532 Abraham11 gave3307 a tenth part1181 of575 all;3956 first4412 3303 being by interpretation2059 King935 of righteousness,1343 and1161 after that1899 also2532 King935 of Salem,4532 which is,3603 King935 of peace;1515

3 Neither his father nor his mother is recorded in the genealogies; and neither the beginning of his days nor the end of his life; but, like the Son of God, his priesthood abides for ever.

3 Without father,540 without mother,282 without descent,35 having2192 neither3383 beginning746 of days,2250 nor3383 end5056 of life;2222 but1161 made like unto871 the3588 Son5207 of God;2316 abideth3306 a priest2409 continually.1519 1336

4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave tithes and paid head tax.

4 Now1161 consider2334 how great4080 this man3778 was, unto whom3739 even2532 the3588 patriarch3966 Abraham11 gave1325 the tenth1181 of1537 the3588 spoils.205

5 For those sons of Levi who received the office of the priesthood, were authorized by law to take tithes from the people; even from their own brethren who also had come out of the loins of Abraham.

5 And2532 verily3303 they3588 that are of1537 the3588 sons5207 of Levi,3017 who receive2983 the3588 office of the priesthood,2405 have2192 a commandment1785 to take tithes586 of the3588 people2992 according2596 to the3588 law,3551 that is,5123 of their848 brethren,80 though2539 they come1831 out of1537 the3588 loins3751 of Abraham: 11

6 But this man who is not recorded in their genealogies took tithes even from Abraham, and blessed him who had received the promises.

6 But1161 he whose descent is not counted1075 3361 from1537 them846 received tithes1183 of Abraham,11 and2532 blessed2127 him that had2192 the3588 promises.1860

7 Beyond dispute: he who was less was blessed by him who was greater than himself.

7 And1161 without5565 all3956 contradiction485 the3588 less1640 is blessed2127 of5259 the3588 better.2909

8 And here mortal men receive tithes; but there he, of whom the scripture testifies that he lives, receives them.

8 And2532 here5602 3303 men444 that die599 receive2983 tithes;1181 but1161 there1563 he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed3140 that3754 he liveth.2198

9 Speaking as a man, through A'bra-ham, even Levi who received tithes, also gave tithes.

9 And2532 as I may so say,5613 2031 2036 Levi3017 also,2532 who receiveth2983 tithes,1181 paid tithes1183 in1223 Abraham.11

10 For he was yet in the loins of his forefather Abraham, when Mel-chis'e-dec met him.

10 For1063 he was2258 yet2089 in1722 the3588 loins3751 of his father,3962 when3753 Melchizedek3198 met4876 him.846

11 If therefore perfection had been reached by the Le-vit'ic-al priesthood, by which the law was enacted for the people, what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Mel-chis'e-dec? Otherwise, the scriptures would have said, that he would be after the order of Aaron.

11 If1487 3303 therefore3767 perfection5050 were2258 by1223 the3588 Levitical3020 priesthood,2420 (for1063 under1909 it846 the3588 people2992 received the law,)3549 what5101 further2089 need5532 was there that another2087 priest2409 should rise450 after2596 the3588 order5010 of Melchizedek,3198 and2532 not3756 be called3004 after2596 the3588 order5010 of Aaron?2

12 Since there was a change in the priesthood, so also there was a change in the law.

12 For1063 the3588 priesthood2420 being changed,3346 there is made1096 of1537 necessity318 a change3331 also2532 of the law.3551

13 For he, concerning whom these things are spoken, was born of another tribe, from which no man ever ministered at the altar.

13 For1063 he of1909 whom3739 these things5023 are spoken3004 pertaineth3348 to another2087 tribe,5443 of575 which3739 no man3762 gave attendance4337 at the3588 altar.2379

14 For it is evident that our LORD sprang out of Juda, of which tribe Moses said nothing concerning the priesthood.

14 For1063 it is evident4271 that3754 our2257 Lord2962 sprang393 out of1537 Judah;2455 of1519 which3739 tribe5443 Moses3475 spake2980 nothing3762 concerning4012 priesthood.2420

15 And yet, it is far more evident because he said that another priest would rise after the order of Mel-chis'e-dec,

15 And2532 it is2076 yet2089 far more4054 evident:2612 for that1487 after2596 the3588 similitude3665 of Melchizedek3198 there ariseth450 another2087 priest,2409

16 One who was not appointed after the law of carnal commandments, but after the power of life which abides for ever.

16 Who3739 is made,1096 not3756 after2596 the law3551 of a carnal4559 commandment,1785 but235 after2596 the power1411 of an endless179 life.2222

17 For he testified concerning him, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchis'e- dec.

17 For1063 he testifieth,3140 Thou4771 art a priest2409 forever1519 165 after2596 the3588 order5010 of Melchizedek.3198

18 For the change which took place in the former law, was made on account of its weaknesses, and because it had become useless.

18 For1063 there is1096 verily3303 a disannulling115 of the commandment1785 going before4254 for1223 the3588 weakness772 and2532 unprofitableness512 thereof.846

19 For the law made nothing perfect, but there has come in its place a better hope, by which we draw near to God.

19 For1063 the3588 law3551 made nothing perfect,5048 3762 but1161 the bringing in1898 of a better2909 hope1680 did; by1223 the which3739 we draw nigh1448 unto God.2316

20 And he confirmed it for us by oath.

20 And2532 inasmuch as2596 3745 not3756 without5565 an oath3728 he was made priest:

21 For they were made priests without oaths; but this one was made a priest with an oath, as it was said concerning him by David, The LORD has sworn, and will not lie, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Mel-chis'edec.

21 (For1063 those priests2409 3303 were1526 made1096 without5565 an oath;3728 but1161 this3588 with3326 an oath3728 by1223 him that said3004 unto4314 him,846 The Lord2962 swore3660 and2532 will not3756 repent,3338 Thou4771 art a priest2409 forever1519 165 after2596 the3588 order5010 of Melchizedek: )3198

22 All these things make a better covenant because Jesus is its surety.

22 By2596 so much5118 was Jesus2424 made1096 a surety1450 of a better2909 testament.1242

23 And these priests were many, because they were mortal, and they were not permitted to continue because of death:

23 And2532 they3588 truly3303 were1526 many4119 priests,2409 because they were not suffered2967 to continue3887 by reason of death: 2288

24 But this man, because he is immortal, has a priesthood which remains for ever.

24 But1161 this3588 man, because he846 continueth3306 ever,1519 165 hath2192 an unchangeable531 priesthood.2420

25 Therefore he is able to forever save those who come to God by him because forever he lives to make intercession for them.

25 Wherefore3606 he is able1410 also2532 to save4982 them to1519 the3588 uttermost3838 that come4334 unto God2316 by1223 him,846 seeing he ever3842 liveth2198 to make intercession1793 for5228 them.846

26 For this is the kind of high priest proper for us; pure, without evil, and undefiled, far away from sin, and made higher than the heavens;

26 For1063 such5108 a high priest749 became4241 us,2254 who is holy,3741 harmless,172 undefiled,283 separate5563 from575 sinners,268 and2532 made1096 higher5308 than the3588 heavens;3772

27 And who needs not daily, as do those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for their own sins, and then for the people's, for this he did once when he offered up himself.

27 Who3739 needeth2192 318 not3756 daily,2596 2250 as5618 those high priests,749 to offer up399 sacrifice,2378 first4386 for5228 his own2398 sins,266 and then1899 for3588 the3588 people's:2992 for1063 this5124 he did4160 once,2178 when he offered up399 himself.1438

28 For the law appoints imperfect men priests; but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints the Son who is perfect for evermore.

28 For1063 the3588 law3551 maketh2525 men444 high priests749 which have2192 infirmity;769 but1161 the3588 word3056 of the3588 oath,3728 which3588 was since3326 the3588 law,3551 maketh the Son,5207 who is consecrated5048 forevermore.1519 165
