Hebrews 7:4-9

⁴Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder.

⁵Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people — that is, from their brothers— though they too are descended from Abraham.

⁶But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

⁷And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater.

⁸In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on.

⁹And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham.
