Hebrews 7:4-10

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴ Now consider how great this man was to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tithe of the spoils.

⁵ For indeed those who are the children of Levi (who receive the office of the priesthood) have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the Law (that is, from their brothers), though they came out of the loins of Abraham.

⁶ But the one whose family is not counted among them received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.

⁷ And without any dispute, the less is blessed by the greater.

⁸ And here, men who die receive tithes. But there, he who lives (about whom it is witnessed).

⁹ And truth be told, Levi (who receives tithes) also paid tithes to Abraham.

¹⁰ For he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
