Hebrews 7:9-11

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁹ And we say that Levi, the priest who takes the tenth from the people, gave his tenth through Abraham.

¹⁰ He was not yet born when Melchizedek met Abraham.

¹¹ It was while the sons of Levi were priests that the law was made for the people. If those priests were good enough, why would another priest need to come who was like Melchizedek? Why would he not be like Aaron?
