“Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.”
King James Version (KJV)
7:4 The greatness of Melchisedec is described in all the preceding and following particulars. But the most manifest proof of it was, that Abraham gave him tithes as to a priest of God and a superior; though he was himself a patriarch, greater than a king, and a progenitor of many kings.
Heb 7:4 Now consider how great this man [was]. When one so great as Abraham recognized his superiority by paying him tithes.
Now consider how great this man was, vnto whō euen the patriarch Abraham gaue the tenth of the spoiles.
