Now consider, how great, this man was, to whom, a tenth, Abraham gave out of the choicest spoils, Yea Abraham the Patriarch. And, they, indeed, from among the sons of Levi who the priesthood receive, have commandment to take tithes of the people, according to the law, that is, of their brethren, although sprung from the loins of Abraham; But, he who deriveth not his pedigree from among them, hath taken tithes of Abraham. And, the holder of the promises, hath he blessed. But, apart from all gainsaying, the less, by the greater, is blessed. And, here, indeed, dying men take tithes, but, there, one of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. And - so to say a word - through Abraham, even Levi who taketh tithes hath paid tithes; For, even then, was he, in the loins of his father, when, Melchizedek, met him.

For, a setting aside, doth, indeed, take place, of a foregoing commandment, by reason of its own weakness and unprofitableness, - For, the law, perfected, nothing; but there is the superinducing of a better hope, - through which we draw near unto God. And, inasmuch as not apart from oath-taking - For, they, indeed, apart from oath-taking, have been made priests, but, he, with an oath-taking, through him that was saying unto him - The Lord sware, and will not regret, - Thou, art a priest, age-abidingly
