Genesis14:20
20 And blessed be the Most High God, which hath delivered thine Enemies into thy hand: And he gave him Tithes of all .
Not Melchizedek gave to Abram, as some Jews foolishly understand it; for Abram swears that he would not keep nor take any of the recovered Goods of the Kings of Sodom or his Brethren, ver. 23. But Abram gave to Melchizedek, as appears both from Heb. 4. 7. and from the nature of the thing: For the Tithes confessedly belong to the Priest, such as Melchizedek and not Abram, as is here described to be.
Not of all the recovered Goods, but of all the spoils taken from the Enemies.
Marginal references: Heb. 7. 4.
