Context Readings

The Greatness Of Melchizedek

9 And even Levi, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes (so to speak) thro' Abraham. 10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedek met him. 11 If then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law) what farther need was there that another priest should rise, after the order of Melchisedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

Cross References

Hebrews 7:5

And verily they of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment (according to the law) to take tithes of the people, that is, of their brethren, tho' they come out of the loins of Abraham.
