Hebrews 7:6

Melchizedek and Abraham

5Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham.6But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.7And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater.
