    5And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brothers, though they come from the loins of Abraham:

    7And without all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the greater.

    8And here mortal men receive tithes; but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

    10For he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

    11If therefore perfection were through the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
