εἰ γὰρ Ἀβραὰμ τῷ Μελχισεδὲκ προσήνεγκε δεκάτην, οἱ δὲ ἀπὸ Ἀβραὰμ τῷ Λευὶ προσφέρουσι καὶ τῷ Ἀαρών, μετὰ χρόνον δὲ τοῦ πάλιν εἶναι τὴν ἑρωσύνην ἐκ περιτομῆς διὰ Ἀαρὼν καὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ καθεξῆς φάσκει ἡ γραφὴ διὰ τοῦ Δαυὶδ (μετὰ γενεὰς δεκαδύο τῆς τοῦ Λευὶ γεννήσεως, ἑπτὰ δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἀαρὼν διαδοχῆς) ἐν τῷ Μελχισεδὲκ τὴν ἱερωσύνην ἵστασθαι, φύσει ἔδειξεν οὐκ ἐν τῇ παλαιᾷ τῆς περιτομῆ ἱερωσύνη τὸ ἱερατικὸν ἐπιμένειν τάγμα·
