In context
7 And without all contradiction, that which is less is blessed by the better.
8 And here indeed, men that die receive tithes: but there, he hath witness that he liveth.
9 And (as it may be said) even Levi who received tithes paid tithes in Abraham:
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedech met him.
