And they indeed of the sons of Levi that receive the priest's office have commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though these have come out of the loins of Abraham:

but he whose genealogy is not counted from them hath taken tithes of Abraham, and hath blessed him that hath the promises.
And here men that die receive tithes; but there one, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
And, so to say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, hath paid tithes;

Brethren, I may say unto you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us unto this day.
