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.

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
