Hebrews 7:5-7

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁵ The sons of Levi, who are priests, have the right by law to take a tenth of what the people have. These people are their own brothers. They also are Abraham's children.

⁶ But Melchizedek was not from Levi's family. Yet he took a tenth of what Abraham had. And he blessed Abraham, to whom God made the promise.

⁷ Everyone knows this is true. The person who is blessed is not so great as the person who blesses him.
