Hebrews 7:6

Hebrews 7:6

But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

a. NLT: But Melchizedek, who was not a descendant of Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham. And Melchizedek placed a blessing upon Abraham, the one who had already received the promises of God.

b. NIV: This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

c. YLT: and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he hath blessed,

d. Amplified Bible: But this person [Melchizedek] who is not from their Levitical ancestry received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who possessed the promises [of God].

e. Worrell Translation: but he whose genealogy is not reckoned from them has taken tithes of Abraham, and has blessed him that had the promises.
