    7 But there is no doubt that the less gets his blessing from the greater.

    8 Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

    10 Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.

    11 Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?
