Hebrews 7:9-12 And, if I may so say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ And, if I may so say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes. ¹⁰ For he was as yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him. ¹¹ If therefore there was perfection by the Levitical priesthood (for under that the people had the law given to them), what farther need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? ¹² For the priesthood being transferred, there is of necessity an abrogation of the law also.
