9 And so it may be said that even Levi, who received tithes, was himself a tithe through Abraham.
10 For he was still in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him.
11 Therefore, if consummation had occurred through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), then what further need would there be for another Priest to rise up according to the order of Melchizedek, one who was not called according to the order of Aaron?
12 For since the priesthood has been transferred, it is necessary that the law also be transferred.
13 For he about whom these things have been spoken is from another tribe, in which no one attends before the altar.
