Hebrews 7:10

Context
7:10 For he was still in his ancestor Abraham’s loins 1  when Melchizedek met him.

Hebrews 13:12

Context
13:12 Therefore, to sanctify the people by his own blood, Jesus also suffered outside the camp.

1 tn Grk “in the loins of his father” (a reference to Abraham). The name “Abraham” has been repeated in the translation at this point (cf. v. 9) in order to clarify the referent (i.e., what ancestor was in view).

sn The point of the phrase still in his ancestor’s loins is that Levi was as yet unborn, still in his ancestor Abraham’s body. Thus Levi participated in Abraham’s action when Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek.
