Hebrews 7:5-7
English Standard Version Anglicised
5 And (A)those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers,[a] though these also are descended from Abraham. 6 But this man (B)who does not have his descent from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed (C)him who had the promises. 7 It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior.

Hebrews 7:5-7
New International Version
5 Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people(A)—that is, from their fellow Israelites—even though they also are descended from Abraham. 6 This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed(B) him who had the promises.(C) 7 And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater.
