Hebrews 7:4-8
-
4 Now consider how great this man was, unto 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 of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
-
6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
-
7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
-
8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
