8Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.
9And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;
10Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.
11Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?
12Because if the priests are changed, it is necessary to make a change in the law.
13For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.
14Because it is clear that our Lord comes out of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests from that tribe.
