Hebrews 7:4

Now consider how great this man [was], unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

Now {G1161} consider {G2334} how great {G4080} this man {G3778} was, unto whom {G3739} even {G2532} the patriarch {G3966} Abraham {G11} gave {G1325} the tenth {G1181} of {G1537} the spoils {G205}.

Just think how great he was! Even the Patriarch Avraham gave him a tenth of the choicest spoils.

Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder.

Now consider how great this man was, unto whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the chief spoils.
