Hebrews 7:7 CPDV

⁵  And indeed, those who are from the sons of Levi, having received the priesthood, hold a commandment to take tithes from the people in accord with the law, that is, from their brothers, even though they also went forth from the loins of Abraham.

⁶  But this man, whose lineage is not enumerated with them, received tithes from Abraham, and he blessed even the one who held the promises.

⁷  Yet this is without any contradiction, for what is less should be blessed by what is better.

⁸  And certainly, here, men who receive tithes still die; but there, he bears witness that he lives.

⁹  And so it may be said that even Levi, who received tithes, was himself a tithe through Abraham.
