Hebrews 7:8-10

And here In the Levitical priesthood; men that die, receive tithes, but there In the case of Melchisedec; he of whom it is witnessed that he liveth Who is not spoken of as one that died for another to succeed him, but is represented only as living, being mentioned in such a way as if he lived for ever. And even Levi, who received tithes Not in person, but in his successors, as it were, paid tithes in the person of Abraham. For he was yet in the loins of his father “This might justly be said of Levi, who descended from Abraham in the ordinary course of generation. But it cannot be said of Christ, who was born in a miraculous manner, without any human father. While, therefore, the apostle's argument, taken from Abraham's paying tithes to Melchisedec, and his receiving the blessing from him, proves that both Abraham and the Levitical priests, his natural descendants, were inferior to Melchisedec, it does not apply to Christ at all.” Macknight.
