Hebrews 7:1

For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,

For this man, Melchizedek, King of Salem and priest of the Most High God he who when Abraham was returning after defeating the kings met him and pronounced a blessing on him

For this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who did meet Abraham turning back from the smiting of the kings, and did bless him,

Hebrews 7:2

And to whom Abraham gave a tenth part of everything which he had, being first named King of righteousness, and then in addition, King of Salem, that is to say, King of peace;

to whom also Abraham presented a tenth part of all being first, as his name signifies, King of righteousness, and secondly King of Salem, that is, King of peace:

to whom also a tenth of all did Abraham divide, (first, indeed, being interpreted, `King of righteousness,` and then also, King of Salem, which is, King of Peace,)

Hebrews 7:3

Being without father or mother, or family, having no birth or end to his life, being made like the Son of God, is a priest for ever.

with no father or mother, and no record of ancestry: having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made a type of the Son of God this man Melchizedek remains a priest for ever.

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, and being made like to the Son of God, doth remain a priest continually.

Hebrews 7:4

Now see how great this man was, to whom our father Abraham gave a tenth part of what he had got in the fight.

Now think how great this priest-king must have been to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth part of the best of the spoil.

And see how great this one [is], to whom also a tenth Abraham the patriarch did give out of the best of the spoils,

Hebrews 7:5

And it is true that by the law, those of the sons of Levi who have the position of priests may take a tenth part of the people's goods; that is to say, they take it from their brothers though these are the sons of Abraham.

And those of the descendants of Levi who receive the priesthood are authorized by the Law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these have sprung from Abraham.

and those, indeed, out of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood, a command have to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, their brethren, even though they came forth out of the loins of Abraham;

Hebrews 7:6

But this man, who was not of their family, took the tenth from Abraham, and gave a blessing to him to whom God had given his undertaking.

But, in this instance, one who does not trace his origin from them takes tithes from Abraham, and pronounces a blessing on him to whom the promises belong.

and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he hath blessed,

Hebrews 7:7

But there is no doubt that the less gets his blessing from the greater.

And beyond all dispute it is always the inferior who is blessed by the superior.

and apart from all controversy, the less by the better is blessed

Hebrews 7:8

Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

Moreover here frail mortal men receive tithes: there one receives them about whom there is evidence that he is alive.

and here, indeed, men who die do receive tithes, and there [he], who is testified to that he was living,

Hebrews 7:9

And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;

And Levi too if I may so speak pays tithes through Abraham:

and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, hath paid tithes,

Hebrews 7:10

Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.

for Levi was yet in the loins of his forefather when Melchizedek met Abraham.

for he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchisedek met him.

Hebrews 7:11

Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?

Now if the crowning blessing was attainable by means of the Levitical priesthood for as resting on this foundation the people received the Law, to which they are still subject what further need was there for a Priest of a different kind to be raised up belonging to the order of Melchizedek instead of being said to belong to the order of Aaron?

If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood for the people under it had received law what further need, according to the order of Melchisedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?

Hebrews 7:12

Because if the priests are changed, it is necessary to make a change in the law.

For when the priesthood changes, a change of Law also of necessity takes place.

for the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, of the law a change doth come,

Hebrews 7:13

For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.

He, however, to whom that prophecy refers is associated with a different tribe, not one member of which has anything to do with the altar.

for he of whom these things are said in another tribe hath had part, of whom no one gave attendance at the altar,

Hebrews 7:14

Because it is clear that our Lord comes out of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests from that tribe.

For it is undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing in connection with priests.

for [it is] evident that out of Judah hath arisen our Lord, in regard to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

Hebrews 7:15

And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,

And this is still more abundantly clear when we read that it is as belonging to the order of Melchizedek that a priest of a different kind is to arise,

And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the similitude of Melchisedek there doth arise another priest,

Hebrews 7:16

That is to say, not made by a law based on the flesh, but by the power of a life without end:

and hold His office not in obedience to any temporary Law, but by virtue of an indestructible Life.

who came not according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,

Hebrews 7:17

For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

For the words are in evidence, "Thou art a priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek."

for He doth testify `Thou [art] a priest to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;`

Hebrews 7:18

So the law which went before is put on one side, because it was feeble and without profit.

On the one hand we have here the abrogation of an earlier code because it was weak and ineffective

for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness,

Hebrews 7:19

(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.

for the Law brought no perfect blessing but on the other hand we have the bringing in of a new and better hope by means of which we draw near to God.

(for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw nigh to God.

Hebrews 7:20

And as this is not without the taking of an oath

And since it was not without an oath being taken

And inasmuch as [it is] not apart from oath, (for those indeed apart from oath are become priests,

Hebrews 7:21

(For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever);

for these men hold office without any oath having been taken, but He holds it attested by an oath from Him who said to Him, "The Lord has sworn and will not recall His words, Thou art a Priest for ever"

and he with an oath through Him who is saying unto him, `The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;`)

Hebrews 7:22

By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.

so much the more also is the Covenant of which Jesus has become the guarantor, a better covenant.

by so much of a better covenant hath Jesus become surety,

Hebrews 7:23

And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever;

And they have been appointed priests many in number, because death prevents their continuance in office:

and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining;

Hebrews 7:24

But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging.

but He, because He continues for ever, has a priesthood which does not pass to any successor.

and he, because of his remaining to the age, hath the priesthood not transient,

Hebrews 7:25

So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.

Hence too He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, seeing that He ever lives to plead for them.

whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God ever living to make intercession for them.

Hebrews 7:26

It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

Moreover we needed just such a High Priest as this holy, guileless, undefiled, far removed from sinful men and exalted above the heavens;

For such a chief priest did become us kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

Hebrews 7:27

Who has no need to make offerings for sins every day, like those high priests, first for himself, and then for the people; because he did this once and for ever when he made an offering of himself.

who, unlike other High Priests, is not under the necessity of offering up sacrifices day after day, first for His own sins, and afterwards for those of the people; for this latter thing He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself;

Hebrews 7:28

The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.

For the Law constitutes men High Priests men with all their infirmity but the utterance of the oath, which came later than the Law, constitutes High Priest a Son who has been made for ever perfect.

for the law doth appoint men chief priests, having infirmity, but the word of the oath that [is] after the law [appointeth] the Son to the age having been perfected.
