5And they indeed of the sons of Levi that receive the priest`s office have commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though these have come out of the loins of Abraham:

6but he whose genealogy is not counted from them hath taken tithes of Abraham, and hath blessed him that hath the promises.

8And here men that die receive tithes; but there one, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

9And, so to say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, hath paid tithes;

10for he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him.
