AI-assisted, sourcedHebrews 7:1-10Melchisedec, king of Salem
About Hebrews 7Melchisedec, "king of Salem, priest of the most high God," met and blessed Abraham, and Abraham "gave a tenth part of all," showing "how great this man was." Since "the law made nothing perfect," God raised up a priest from Juda "after the order of Melchisedec," made by an oath, so Jesus is "a surety of a better testament" with "an unchangeable priesthood." "He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them," and unlike the high priests he offered for sins once, "when he offered up himself."
