Hebrews 7:1–3

Melchizedek the Priest

7 This Melchizedek was king of Salemf and priest of God Most High.g He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,h 2 and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” 3 Without father or mother, without genealogy,i without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God,j he remains a priest forever.
