Abraham paid tithes

  1.   5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
      6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
          •  •  •
      9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
  2.   15 And it was this same Melchizedek to whom Abraham paid tithes; yea, even our father Abraham paid tithes of one-tenth part of all he possessed.
