For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
Hebrews 7:2
to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”,
Hebrews 7:3
without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.

Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.

Hebrews 7:11
Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Hebrews 7:12

Hebrews 7:15
This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
Hebrews 7:16
who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;
Hebrews 7:17
for it is testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”

(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
Hebrews 7:20
Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
