Hebrews 7:9-10

9-10 The Levite priests receive their gifts from the people. But we could say that Levi himself gave a tenth part of what he had to Melchizedek. When Abraham gave his tenth part to Melchizedek, it was like Levi was there inside him. At that time, Levi was not yet born, but Abraham was his ancestor.

7:9-10See Genesis 14:18-20. All the Israelites had to give a tenth part of what they had to the Levites who served God in special ways. The Levites who gave a tenth part of this to the priests. See Numbers 18:21-32.
