1 En effet, ce Melchisédek, roi de Salem, sacrificateur du Dieu Très-Haut, qui alla au-devant d’Abraham lorsqu’il revenait de la défaite des rois, qui le bénit,

2 et à qui Abraham donna la dîme de tout, qui est d’abord roi de justice, d’après la signification de son nom, ensuite roi de Salem, c’est-à-dire roi de paix,

3 qui est sans père, sans mère, sans généalogie, qui n’a ni commencement de jours ni fin de vie, mais qui est rendu semblable au Fils de Dieu, ce Melchisédek demeure sacrificateur à perpétuité.

4 Considérez combien est grand celui auquel le patriarche Abraham donna la dîme du butin.
