4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the1 spoils.
5 And indeed athose who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham;
6 but he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham aand blessed bhim who had the promises.
7 Now beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better.
8 Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, aof whom it is witnessed that he lives.
