1And the sum concerning the things spoken of `is': we have such a chief priest, who did sit down at the right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens,
2of the holy places a servant, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord did set up, and not man,
3for every chief priest to offer both gifts and sacrifices is appointed, whence `it is' necessary for this one to have also something that he may offer;

7and apart from all controversy, the less by the better is blessed --
8and here, indeed, men who die do receive tithes, and there `he', who is testified to that he was living,
