Hebrews 7:1

Read in context

Hebrews 7:1–3 · Berean Standard Bible

1 This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

2 and Abraham apportioned to him a tenth of everything. First, his name means “king of righteousness.” Then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.”

3 Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.
