This is similar to the biblical teaching that Levi (a descendent of Abraham) paid tithes to Melchizedek in Abraham (Genesis 14:20; Hebrews 7:4-9), even though Levi was not born until hundreds of years later.
Hii ni sawa na mafundisho ya Biblia kwamba Lawi (mzao wa Ibrahimu) alilipa zaka kwa Melkizedeki katika Ibrahimu (Mwanzo 14:20; Waebrania 7:4-9), ingawa Lawi hakuzaliwa hadi mamia ya miaka baadaye.
