where Jesus has entered as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest for ever, of the order of Melchizedek. (Hebrews 6, 20)
Melchizedek, king of Salem, a priest of God Most High, came to meet Abraham when he returned from defeating the kings, and blessed him; (Hebrews 7, 1)
and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. By the interpretation of his name, he is, first, 'king of saving justice' and also king of Salem, that is, 'king of peace'; (Hebrews 7, 2)

Now think how great this man must have been, if the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the finest plunder. (Hebrews 7, 4)
We know that any of the descendants of Levi who are admitted to the priesthood are obliged by the Law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their own brothers although they too are descended from Abraham. (Hebrews 7, 5)

Now if perfection had been reached through the levitical priesthood -- and this was the basis of the Law given to the people -- why was it necessary for a different kind of priest to arise, spoken of as being of the order of Melchizedek rather than of the order of Aaron? (Hebrews 7, 11)
So our Lord, of whom these things were said, belonged to a different tribe, the members of which have never done service at the altar; (Hebrews 7, 13)
This becomes even more clearly evident if another priest, of the type of Melchizedek, arises who is a priest (Hebrews 7, 15)
For he is attested by the prophecy: You are a priest for ever of the order of Melchizedek. (Hebrews 7, 17)
