Hebrews 7:5-7
King James Version
5 And 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:
6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

Hebrews 7:5-7
English Standard Version
5 And (A)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. 6 But this man (B)who does not have his descent from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed (C)him who had the promises. 7 It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior.
