Hebrews 7:9

And as I may so say - ̔ · And so to speak a word. This form of speech, which is very frequent among the purest Greek writers, is generally used to soften some harsh expression, or to limit the meaning when the proposition might otherwise appear to be too general. It answers fully to our so to speak - as one would say - I had almost said - in a certain sense. Many examples of its use by Aristotle, Philo, Lucian, Josephus, Demosthenes, Aeschines, and Plutarch, may be seen in Raphelius and Kypke.

Payed tithes in Abraham - The Levites, who were descendants of Abraham, paid tithes to Melchisedec through, Abraham, their progenitor and representative.
