    Hebrews 7
    • 1   For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
    • 2   To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
    • 3   Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like to the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
    • 4   Now consider how great this man [was], to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
    • 5   And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they come from the loins of Abraham:
    • 6   But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
    • 7   And without all contradiction the less is blessed by the better.
    • 8   And here men that die receive tithes; but there he [receiveth them], of whom it is testified that he liveth.
    • 9   And as I may say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
    • 10   For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
    • 11   If 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?
    • 12   For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
    • 13   For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
    • 14   For [it is] evident that our Lord sprang from Judah; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
    • 15   And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
    • 16   Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
    • 17   For he testifieth, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
    • 18   For there is verily a disannulling of the preceding commandment on account of its weakness and unprofitableness.
    • 19   For the law made nothing perfect, but the introduction of a better hope [did]; by which we draw nigh to God.
    • 20   And 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 to him, The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
    • 22   By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
    • 23   And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
    • 24   But this [man], because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
    • 25   Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come to God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
    • 26   For such a high priest became us, [who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
    • 27   Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
    • 28   For the law maketh men high priests who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, [maketh] the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

    Webster Bible Electronic Format.
    PUBLIC DOMAIN

    February 1992

    Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.

    I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

    I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.
