Hebrews 7:8 BBE

⁶  But this man, who was not of their family, took the tenth from Abraham, and gave a blessing to him to whom God had given his undertaking.

⁷  But there is no doubt that the less gets his blessing from the greater.

⁸  Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

⁹  And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;

¹⁰  Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.
