Hebrews 7:8-10 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

8. Those priests get a tenth, but they are only men who live and then die. But Melchizedek, who got a tenth from Abraham, continues to live, as the Scriptures say.

9. Now those from the family of Levi are the ones who get a tenth from the people. But we can say that when Abraham paid Melchizedek a tenth, then Levi also paid it.

10. Levi was not yet born, but he already existed in his ancestor Abraham when Melchizedek met him.
