Hebrews 7:4-10 (King James Version)

 ⁴Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

 ⁵And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

 ⁶But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

 ⁷And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

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

 ⁹And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

 ¹⁰For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
