See how great this man was to whom Abraham (A)the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils! And (B)those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers,[a] though these also are descended from Abraham. But this man (C)who does not have his descent from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed (D)him who had the promises. It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior. In the one case tithes are received by mortal men, but in the other case, by one (E)of whom it is testified that (F)he lives. One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham,

Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch(A) Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!(B) Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people(C)—that is, from their fellow Israelites—even though they also are descended from Abraham. This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed(D) him who had the promises.(E) And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater. In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living.(F) One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham,
