¹ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

¹⁸ Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High.

¹⁹ He blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth:

²⁰ and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." Abram gave him a tenth of all.

⁷ and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don't torment me."

² His tent is also in Salem; His dwelling place in Zion.

²⁰ where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

¹⁷ Following Paul and us, she cried out, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation!"

⁶ How shall I come before Yahweh, And bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, With calves a year old?

²¹ and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the animals', and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky; until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whoever he will.

¹⁸ You king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty:

² It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked toward me.

² Who has raised up one from the east, whom he calls in righteousness to his foot? he gives nations before him, and makes him rule over kings; he gives them as the dust to his sword, as the driven stubble to his bow.

³ He pursues them, and passes on safely, even by a way that he had not gone with his feet.

⁵⁶ Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And didn't keep his testimonies;

³⁵ They remembered that God was their rock, The Most High God their redeemer.

² I cry out to God Most High, To God who accomplishes my requests for me.

¹⁴ Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi.{Beer Lahai Roi means "well of the one who lives and sees me."} Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

¹⁵ Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

¹⁶ Abram was eighty-six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
