Hebrews 7:6-8

But Melchizedek was not Abraham’s Jewish relative, and yet Abraham still paid him a tithe. – Melchizedek imparted a blessing on mighty Abraham, who had received the promises of God. And no one could deny the fact that the one who has the power to impart a blessing is superior to the one who receives it. – Although the Jewish priests received tithes, they all died—they were mortal. But Melchizedek lives on!
