Hebrews 7:11 Context
9And as I may so say, Leui also who receiueth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. 10For hee was yet in the loynes of his Father when Melchisedec met him. 11If therefore perfection were by the Leuiticall Priesthood (for vnder it the people receiued the Law) what further neede was there, that another Priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not bee called after the order of Aaron? 12For the Priesthood being chaunged, there is made of necessitie a change also of the Law. 13For hee of whom these things are spoken, pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gaue attendance at the Altar.
