Hebrews 7:5-9

Murdock(i) 5 For they of the sons of Levi who received the priesthood, had a statute of the law, that they should take tithes from the people; they from their brethren, because they also are of the seed of Abraham. 6 But this man, who is not enrolled in their genealogies, took tithes from Abraham; and blessed him who had received the promise. 7 But it is beyond controversy, that the inferior is blessed by his superior. 8 And here, men who die, receive the tithes; but there he of whom the scripture testifieth that he liveth. 9 And through Abraham, as one may say, even Levi who receiveth tithes, was himself tithed.
