Now those of the sons of Levi who are appointed to the priesthood, are authorized by the Law to take tithes of the people, that is, of their brothers, and that too, although these are descended from Abraham. But this man who had no Levitical genealogy actually took tithes of Abraham, and blessed him to whom the promises belong. Now it is beyond all controversy that the inferior is always blessed by the superior. Again it is mortal men who receive tithes in the one case; while in the other it is he of whom it is attested, "He lives." And even Levi, who is the receiver of tithes, so to speak, paid tithes through Abraham; for Levi was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met Abraham.
