1
When the king of Sodom heard that I had returned from the conquest of Amraphel son of Nimrod king of Shinar, he came forth to meet me at the valley of Shaveh which is west of the city of Shalom where Noah and Melchizedek dwelt.
2
And Melchizedek brought forth bread and wine from the city of Shalom unto the valley of Shaveh where we were encamped.
3
And he being the high priest after the order of the Most High God brake the bread and blessed it and he blessed the wine also and he distributed them unto me and those who were with me, and we partook and were filled.
4
And Melchizedek lifted up his hands to heaven and blessed me, and said, Blessed Abraham, thou art a man of the Most High God, possessor of heaven and of earth, wherefore, his name and priesthood shall not depart from thee and thy seed after thee while the earth shall stand and even in eternity shall it remain with thee.
5
And blessed is the name of the Most High God and almighty his power, which hath delivered thine enemies into thine hand.
6
And I, Abraham, gave into the hand of Melchizedek, tithes of all I had taken, for he was the presiding high priest after the order of the Most High God, the first of the fathers unto me, and he reigned under his father Noah.
