And no one takes on himself the honor [of head priest], but [he is appointed only] when he is called by God, as was the case with Aaron.

And in the one case, men here [on earth, that is, the Levites] who die, collect a tenth [from the rest of the Israelites], but there [i.e., in the case of Melchizedek] it is collected by someone about whom it is declared [by Scripture] that he continues to live.
