*
Now consider how great this man was ,
unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils .
*
And verily they that are of the sons of Levi ,
who receive the office of the priesthood ,
have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law ,
that is ,
of their brethren ,
though they come out of the loins of Abraham :
*
But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham ,
and blessed him that had the promises .
*
And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better .
*
And here men that die receive tithes ;
but there he receiveth them ,
of whom it is witnessed that he liveth .
*
And as I may so say ,
Levi also ,
who receiveth tithes ,
payed tithes in Abraham .
