"Now observe how great this man was to whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth of the choicest spoils."
— Hebrews 7:4, NASB
“Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.”
“Now consider how great this man was, unto whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the chief spoils. ”
“Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best spoils.”
“But see how great he must be, if Abraham the patriarch gave him a tithe of his plunder.”
“Now consider how great this man is, to whom also Abraham the patriarch gave tithes out of the principal things.”
“Now see how great this man was, to whom our father Abraham gave a tenth part of what he had got in the fight.”
“Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.”
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace.
Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually.
Now observe how great this man was to whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth of the choicest spoils.
And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have commandment in the Law to collect a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethren, although these are descended from Abraham.
But the one whose genealogy is not traced from them collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises.
But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
