  • Genesis 14:17-20

    Abram blessed by Melchizedek

    17 After Abram returned from his attack on Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom came out to the Shaveh Valley (that is, the King’s Valley) to meet him. 18 Now Melchizedek the king of Salem and the priest of El Elyon had brought bread and wine, 19 and he blessed him,

    “Bless Abram by El Elyon,
            creator of heaven and earth;
    20 bless El Elyon,
            who gave you the victory over your enemies.”

    Abram gave Melchizedek one-tenth of everything.
