7:2 To him 1 also Abraham apportioned a tithe 2 of everything. 3 His name first means 4 king of righteousness, then king of Salem, that is, king of peace.
7:3 Without father, without mother, without genealogy, he has neither beginning of days nor end of life but is like the son of God, and he remains a priest for all time.
