Hebrews 7:1-3 God's Word Translation (GW)

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

2. Abraham gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything he had captured.In the first place, Melchizedek’s name means king of righteousness. He is also called king of Salem (which means king of peace).

3. No one knows anything about Melchizedek’s father, mother, or ancestors. No one knows when he was born or when he died. Like the Son of God, Melchizedek continues to be a priest forever.
