Hebrews 7:1

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 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 Melchisedec, King of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from smiting the kings, and blessed him;

Hebrews 7:2

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:

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 Abraham gave also the tenth portion of all; first being interpreted King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace;

Hebrews 7:3

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.

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.

without father, without mother, without genealogy; having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but assimilated to the Son of God, abides a priest continually.

Hebrews 7:4

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.

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 consider how great this [personage] was, to whom [even] the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the spoils.

Hebrews 7:5

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 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 they indeed from among the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is from their brethren, though these are come out of the loins of Abraham:

Hebrews 7:6

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.

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 he who has no genealogy from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.

Hebrews 7:7

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

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

But beyond all gainsaying, the inferior is blessed by the better.

Hebrews 7:8

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

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.

And here dying men receive tithes; but there [one] of whom the witness is that he lives;

Hebrews 7:9

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

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

and, so to speak, through Abraham, Levi also, who received tithes, has been made to pay tithes.

Hebrews 7:10

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

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

For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him.

Hebrews 7:11

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?

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?

If indeed then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for the people had their law given to them in connexion with *it*, what need [was there] still that a different priest should arise according to the order of Melchisedec, and not be named after the order of Aaron?

Hebrews 7:12

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

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

For, the priesthood being changed, there takes place of necessity a change of law also.

Hebrews 7:13

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 comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.

For he, of whom these things are said, belongs to a different tribe, of which no one has [ever] been attached to the service of the altar.

Hebrews 7:14

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

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

For it is clear that our Lord has sprung out of Juda, as to which tribe Moses spake nothing as to priests.

Hebrews 7:15

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

And it is yet more abundantly evident, since a different priest arises according to the similitude of Melchisedec,

Hebrews 7:16

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

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

who has been constituted not according to law of fleshly commandment, but according to power of indissoluble life.

Hebrews 7:17

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

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

For it is borne witness, *Thou* art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec.

Hebrews 7:18

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

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

For there is a setting aside of the commandment going before for its weakness and unprofitableness,

Hebrews 7:19

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.

(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 perfected nothing,) and the introduction of a better hope by which we draw nigh to God.

Hebrews 7:20

And since it was not without an oath being taken

And as this is not without the taking of an oath

And by how much [it was] not without the swearing of an oath;

Hebrews 7:21

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"

(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 they are become priests without the swearing of an oath, but he with the swearing of an oath, by him who said, as to him, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent [of it], *Thou* [art] priest for ever [according to the order of Melchisedec];)

Hebrews 7:22

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

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

by so much Jesus became surety of a better covenant.

Hebrews 7:23

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

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 many priests, on account of being hindered from continuing by death;

Hebrews 7:24

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

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

but he, because of his continuing for ever, has the priesthood unchangeable.

Hebrews 7:25

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.

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.

Whence also he is able to save completely those who approach by him to God, always living to intercede for them.

Hebrews 7:26

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

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:

For such a high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and become higher than the heavens:

Hebrews 7:27

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 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 has not day by day need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for his own sins, then [for] those of the people; for this he did once for all [in] having offered up himself.

Hebrews 7:28

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.

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, having infirmity; but the word of the swearing of the oath which [is] after the law, a Son perfected for ever.
