NASB
"And, so to speak, through Abraham even Levi, who received tithes, paid tithes,"
— Hebrews 7:9, NASB
“And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.”
“And, so to say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, hath paid tithes; ”
“We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,”
“And it could be said that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid a tithe through Abraham.”
“And (as it may be said) even Levi who received tithes paid tithes in Abraham:”
“And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;”
“And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.”
But the one whose genealogy is not traced from them collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises.
But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
In this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives on.
And, so to speak, through Abraham even Levi, who received tithes, paid tithes,
for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron?
For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also.
