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