¹ 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,

¹⁸ And Melchizedek king of Salem hath brought out bread and wine, and he `is' priest of God Most High;

¹⁹ and he blesseth him, and saith, `Blessed `is' Abram to God Most High, possessing heaven and earth;

²⁰ and blessed `is' God Most High, who hath delivered thine adversaries into thy hand;' and he giveth to him a tenth of all.

⁷ and having called with a loud voice, he said, `What -- to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure thee by God, mayest thou not afflict me!'

² And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.

²⁰ whither a forerunner for us did enter -- Jesus, after the order of Melchisedek chief priest having become -- to the age.

¹⁷ she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, `These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us a way of salvation;'

⁶ With what do I come before Jehovah? Do I bow to God Most High? Do I come before Him with burnt-offerings? With calves -- sons of a year?

²¹ and from the sons of men he is driven, and his heart with the beasts hath been like, and with the wild asses `is' his dwelling; the herb like oxen they cause him to eat, and by the dew of the heavens is his body wet, till that he hath known that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He willeth He raiseth up over it.

¹⁸ thou, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour, gave to Nebuchadnezzar thy father:

² The signs and wonders that God Most High hath done with me, it is good before me to shew.

² Who stirred up from the east a righteous one? He calleth him to His foot, He giveth before him nations, And kings He causeth him to rule, He giveth `them' as dust `to' his sword, As driven stubble `to' his bow.

³ He pursueth them, he passeth over in safety A path with his feet he entereth not.

⁵⁶ And they tempt and provoke God Most High, And His testimonies have not kept.

³⁵ And they remember that God `is' their rock, And God Most High their redeemer.

² I call to God Most High, To God `who' is perfecting for me.

¹⁴ therefore hath one called the well, `The well of the Living One, my beholder;' lo, between Kadesh and Bered.

¹⁵ And Hagar beareth to Abram a son; and Abram calleth the name of his son, whom Hagar hath borne, Ishmael;

¹⁶ and Abram `is' a son of eighty and six years in Hagar's bearing Ishmael to Abram.
