Hebrews 7:5-7 For those sons of Levi who received the office of the priesthood, were authorized by law to take tithes from the people; even from their own brethren who also had come out of the loins of Abraham.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ For those sons of Levi who received the office of the priesthood, were authorized by law to take tithes from the people; even from their own brethren who also had come out of the loins of Abraham. ⁶ But this man who is not recorded in their genealogies took tithes even from Abraham, and blessed him who had received the promises. ⁷ Beyond dispute: he who was less was blessed by him who was greater than himself.
