Hebrews 7:3-5

New Century Version

³ No one knows who Melchizedek’s father or mother was,^[a] where he came from, when he was born, or when he died. Melchizedek is like the Son of God; he continues being a priest forever.

⁴ You can see how great Melchizedek was. Abraham, the great father, gave him a tenth of everything that he won in battle. ⁵ Now the law says that those in the tribe of Levi who become priests must collect a tenth from the people—their own people—even though the priests and the people are from the family of Abraham.
