╚┼┬ 7:1 ╞OR THIS ═ELCHISEDEC, KING OF ╙ALEM, PRIEST OF THE MOST HIGH ╟OD, WHO MET ┴BRAHAM RETURNING FROM THE SLAUGHTER OF THE KINGS, AND BLESSED HIM;
╚┼┬ 7:2 ╘O WHOM ALSO ┴BRAHAM GAVE A TENTH PART OF ALL; FIRST BEING BY INTERPRETATION ╦ING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND AFTER THAT ALSO ╦ING OF ╙ALEM, WHICH IS, ╦ING OF PEACE;
╚┼┬ 7:3 ╫ITHOUT FATHER, WITHOUT MOTHER, WITHOUT DESCENT, HAVING NEITHER BEGINNING OF DAYS, NOR END OF LIFE; BUT MADE LIKE UNTO THE ╙ON OF ╟OD; ABIDETH A PRIEST CONTINUALLY.
╚┼┬ 7:4 ╬OW CONSIDER HOW GREAT THIS MAN WAS, UNTO WHOM EVEN THE PATRIARCH ┴BRAHAM GAVE THE TENTH OF THE SPOILS.
╚┼┬ 7:5 ┴ND VERILY THEY THAT ARE OF THE SONS OF ╠EVI, WHO RECEIVE THE OFFICE OF THE PRIESTHOOD, HAVE A COMMANDMENT TO TAKE TITHES OF THE PEOPLE ACCORDING TO THE LAW, THAT IS, OF THEIR BRETHREN, THOUGH THEY COME OUT OF THE LOINS OF ┴BRAHAM:
╚┼┬ 7:6 ┬UT HE WHOSE DESCENT IS NOT COUNTED FROM THEM RECEIVED TITHES OF ┴BRAHAM, AND BLESSED HIM THAT HAD THE PROMISES.
╚┼┬ 7:7 ┴ND WITHOUT ALL CONTRADICTION THE LESS IS BLESSED OF THE BETTER.
╚┼┬ 7:8 ┴ND HERE MEN THAT DIE RECEIVE TITHES; BUT THERE HE RECEIVETH THEM, OF WHOM IT IS WITNESSED THAT HE LIVETH.
╚┼┬ 7:9 ┴ND AS ╔ MAY SO SAY, ╠EVI ALSO, WHO RECEIVETH TITHES, PAYED TITHES IN ┴BRAHAM.
╚┼┬ 7:10 ╞OR HE WAS YET IN THE LOINS OF HIS FATHER, WHEN ═ELCHISEDEC MET HIM.
╚┼┬ 7:11 ╔F THEREFORE PERFECTION WERE BY THE ╠EVITICAL PRIESTHOOD, (FOR UNDER IT THE PEOPLE RECEIVED THE LAW,) WHAT FURTHER NEED WAS THERE THAT ANOTHER PRIEST SHOULD RISE AFTER THE ORDER OF ═ELCHISEDEC, AND NOT BE CALLED AFTER THE ORDER OF ┴ARON?
╚┼┬ 7:12 ╞OR THE PRIESTHOOD BEING CHANGED, THERE IS MADE OF NECESSITY A CHANGE ALSO OF THE LAW.
╚┼┬ 7:13 ╞OR HE OF WHOM THESE THINGS ARE SPOKEN PERTAINETH TO ANOTHER TRIBE, OF WHICH NO MAN GAVE ATTENDANCE AT THE ALTAR.
╚┼┬ 7:14 ╞OR IT IS EVIDENT THAT OUR ╠ORD SPRANG OUT OF ╩UDA; OF WHICH TRIBE ═OSES SPAKE NOTHING CONCERNING PRIESTHOOD.
╚┼┬ 7:15 ┴ND IT IS YET FAR MORE EVIDENT: FOR THAT AFTER THE SIMILITUDE OF ═ELCHISEDEC THERE ARISETH ANOTHER PRIEST,
╚┼┬ 7:16 ╫HO IS MADE, NOT AFTER THE LAW OF A CARNAL COMMANDMENT, BUT AFTER THE POWER OF AN ENDLESS LIFE.
╚┼┬ 7:17 ╞OR HE TESTIFIETH, ╘HOU ART A PRIEST FOR EVER AFTER THE ORDER OF ═ELCHISEDEC.
╚┼┬ 7:18 ╞OR THERE IS VERILY A DISANNULLING OF THE COMMANDMENT GOING BEFORE FOR THE WEAKNESS AND UNPROFITABLENESS THEREOF.
╚┼┬ 7:19 ╞OR THE LAW MADE NOTHING PERFECT, BUT THE BRINGING IN OF A BETTER HOPE DID; BY THE WHICH WE DRAW NIGH UNTO ╟OD.
╚┼┬ 7:20 ┴ND INASMUCH AS NOT WITHOUT AN OATH HE WAS MADE PRIEST:
╚┼┬ 7:21 (╞OR THOSE PRIESTS WERE MADE WITHOUT AN OATH; BUT THIS WITH AN OATH BY HIM THAT SAID UNTO HIM, ╘HE ╠ORD SWARE AND WILL NOT REPENT, ╘HOU ART A PRIEST FOR EVER AFTER THE ORDER OF ═ELCHISEDEC:)
╚┼┬ 7:22 ┬Y SO MUCH WAS ╩ESUS MADE A SURETY OF A BETTER TESTAMENT.
╚┼┬ 7:23 ┴ND THEY TRULY WERE MANY PRIESTS, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT SUFFERED TO CONTINUE BY REASON OF DEATH:
╚┼┬ 7:24 ┬UT THIS MAN, BECAUSE HE CONTINUETH EVER, HATH AN UNCHANGEABLE PRIESTHOOD.
╚┼┬ 7:25 ╫HEREFORE HE IS ABLE ALSO TO SAVE THEM TO THE UTTERMOST THAT COME UNTO ╟OD BY HIM, SEEING HE EVER LIVETH TO MAKE INTERCESSION FOR THEM.
╚┼┬ 7:26 ╞OR SUCH AN HIGH PRIEST BECAME US, WHO IS HOLY, HARMLESS, UNDEFILED, SEPARATE FROM SINNERS, AND MADE HIGHER THAN THE HEAVENS;
╚┼┬ 7:27 ╫HO NEEDETH NOT DAILY, AS THOSE HIGH PRIESTS, TO OFFER UP SACRIFICE, FIRST FOR HIS OWN SINS, AND THEN FOR THE PEOPLE'S: FOR THIS HE DID ONCE, WHEN HE OFFERED UP HIMSELF.
╚┼┬ 7:28 ╞OR THE LAW MAKETH MEN HIGH PRIESTS WHICH HAVE INFIRMITY; BUT THE WORD OF THE OATH, WHICH WAS SINCE THE LAW, MAKETH THE ╙ON, WHO IS CONSECRATED FOR EVERMORE.
