You see how great this man was, to whom the patriarch Abraham even gave the tenth part of the chief spoils. And those indeed of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood have a commandment to tithe the people according to the law, that is, their brethren, even though having come out from the loins of Abraham: but he who did not derive his lineage from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him having the promises. For without contradiction the less is blessed by the better. And here indeed men dying, receive tithes; however there, he is witnessed to that he lives. And, so to speak a word, Levi, the one receiving tithes, has also been tithed through Abraham. For he was still in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you tithe mint and anise and cummin, and pass by the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: it behooves to do these and not to neglect those.
