Hebrews 7:5-9

And
<2532>
verily
<3303>
they that are of
<1537>
the sons
<5207>
of Levi
<3017>_,
who
<3588>
receive
<2983> (5723)
the office of the priesthood
<2405>_,
have
<2192> (5719)
a commandment
<1785>
to take tithes
<586> (5721)
of the people
<2992>
according to
<2596>
the law
<3551>_,
that is
<5123> (5748)_,
of their
<846>
brethren
<80>_,
though
<2539>
they come
<1831> (5761)
out of
<1537>
the loins
<3751>
of Abraham
<11>_:
But
<1161>
he whose descent is
<1075> (0)
not
<3361>
counted
<1075> (5746)
from
<1537>
them
<846>
received tithes
<1183> (5758)
of Abraham
<11>_,
and
<2532>
blessed
<2127> (5758)
him that had
<2192> (5723)
the promises
<1860>_.
{descent: or, pedigree}
And
<1161>
without
<5565>
all
<3956>
contradiction
<485>
the less
<1640>
is blessed
<2127> (5743)
of
<5259>
the better
<2909>_.
And
<2532>
here
<5602> <3303>
men
<444>
that die
<599> (5723)
receive
<2983> (5719)
tithes
<1181>_;
but
<1161>
there
<1563>
he [receiveth them], of whom it is witnessed
<3140> (5746)
that
<3754>
he liveth
<2198> (5719)_.
And
<2532>
as
<5613>
I may so say
<2031> <2036> (5629)_,
Levi
<3017>
also
<2532>_,
who
<3588>
receiveth
<2983> (5723)
tithes
<1181>_,
payed tithes
<1183> (5769)
in
<1223>
Abraham
<11>_.
