Hebrews 7:5

menu_book Verse in Context

3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.

4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.

5 They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,

6 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.

7 But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
