Hebrews 7:4

---

← Hebrews 7:3	Hebrews 7:4 (KJV)	Hebrews 7:5 →
Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.	Now consider how great this man [was], unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.	And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
