Hebrews 7:7 Context
5And verily they that are of the sonnes of Leui, who receiue the office of the Priesthood, haue a commandement to take Tithes of the people according to the Law, that is of their brethren, though they come out of the loines of Abraham: 6But he whose descent is not counted from them, receiued tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. 7And without all contradiction, the lesse is blessed of the better. 8And here men that die receiue tithes: but there hee receiueth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liueth. 9And as I may so say, Leui also who receiueth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
