Hebrews 7:8

“Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.”

Verse in context — Hebrews 7

but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.

But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.

Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.

We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,

for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.

Jesus as the ultimate High Priest and fulfillment of the Old Covenant.
