Hebrews 7:8-12

8And hereG5602 menG444 that dieG599 receiveG2983 tithes; but there one, of whom it is witnessedG3140 that he liveth. 9And, so to sayG3004, through AbrahamG11 evenG2532 Levi, who receiveth tithes, hath paid tithes; 10for he wasG1510 yetG2089 in the loinsG3751 of his fatherG3962, whenG3753 MelchizedekG3198 met him.

11Now if there wasG1510 perfection through the Levitical priesthoodG2420 (for under it hath the peopleG2992 received the law), what further needG5532 wasG1510 there that another priestG2409 should ariseG450 after the orderG5010 of MelchizedekG3198, and not beG1510 reckoned after the orderG5010 of AaronG2? 12For the priesthoodG2420 being changed, there is made of necessityG318 a change alsoG2532 of the lawG3551.
