Hebrews 7:2-4
New English Translation

2 To him[a] also Abraham apportioned a tithe[b] of everything.[c] His name first means[d] king of righteousness, then king of Salem,[e] that is, king of peace. 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. 4 But see how great he must be, if[f] Abraham the patriarch gave him a tithe[g] of his plunder.
