The Greatness Of Melchizedek
5 Those descendants of Levi, who are from time to time appointed to the priesthood, are directed to collect tithes from the people in accordance with the Law--that is from their own Brothers, although they also are descended from Abraham. 6 But Melchizedek, although not of this lineage, received tithes from Abraham, and gave his blessing to the very man who had God's promises. 7 Now no one can dispute that it is the superior who blesses the inferior.
