Hebrews 7:2-6

2to whom alsoG2532 AbrahamG11 divided a tenth part of all (beingG1510 firstG4413, by interpretation, KingG935 of righteousnessG1343, and then alsoG2532 KingG935 of SalemG4532, which isG1510, KingG935 of peaceG1515; 3without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of daysG2250 nor endG5056 of lifeG2222, but made like unto the SonG5207 of GodG2316), abideth a priestG2409 continually.

4NowG1161 consider howG4080 great this manG3778 was, unto whom AbrahamG11, the patriarchG3966, gaveG1325 a tenth out of the chief spoils. 5And they indeed of the sonsG5207 of LeviG3017 that receiveG2983 the priest’s office have commandmentG1785 to takeG2983 tithes of the peopleG2992 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, that isG1510, of their brethren, though these have comeG1831 out of the loinsG3751 of AbrahamG11: 6but he whose genealogy is not counted from them hath taken tithes of AbrahamG11, and hath blessedG2127 him that hath the promisesG1860.
