2And to whom Abraham gave a tenth part of everything which he had, being first named King of righteousness, and then in addition, King of Salem, that is to say, King of peace;
3Being without father or mother, or family, having no birth or end to his life, being made like the Son of God, is a priest for ever.
4Now see how great this man was, to whom our father Abraham gave a tenth part of what he had got in the fight.
5And it is true that by the law, those of the sons of Levi who have the position of priests may take a tenth part of the people's goods; that is to say, they take it from their brothers though these are the sons of Abraham.
6But this man, who was not of their family, took the tenth from Abraham, and gave a blessing to him to whom God had given his undertaking.
7But there is no doubt that the less gets his blessing from the greater.
8Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.
