Hebrews
"Those who are of the sons of Levi..."
Text: Hebrews 7:5
THE LAW OF THE TITHE
The author of Hebrews brought in the principle of Abraham’s tithe to Melchizedek for good reason! He wanted to show the greatness of Melchizedek. He knew that this point would be better appreciated if he also discussed the law of the tithe in the Levitical priesthood
“And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi,
who receive the priesthood, have a commandment
to receive tithes from the people according to the law,
that is, from their brethren, though they have come
from the loins of Abraham.”
Hebrews 7:5
