    6and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he hath blessed,

    7and apart from all controversy, the less by the better is blessed --

    14for `it is' evident that out of Judah hath arisen our Lord, in regard to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
