TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
¶ And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
¶ And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king’s dale.
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

    10For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

    11If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

    12For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

    13For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

    14For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

    15And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

    16Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

    17For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

    18For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

    19For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

    20And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:

    21(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
