4. Now see how great this one was, to whom even the ancestor Aḇraham gave a tenth of the choicest booty.
5. And truly, those who are of the sons of Lĕwi, who receive the priesthood, have a command to receive tithes from the people according to the Torah, that is, from their brothers, though they have come from the loins of Aḇraham,
6. however, the one whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Aḇraham, and blessed the one who held the promises.
7. And it is beyond all dispute that the lesser is blessed by the better.
8. And here it is men who die that receive tithes, but there it is someone of whom it is witnessed that he lives.
