Hebrews 7:6

But he whose genealogy is not counted from them hath taken tithes of Abraham, and hath blessed him that hath the promises. But without any dispute the less is blessed of the better.

The author here is still pressing the greater dignity of Melchizedek; because, in so doing, it proves the greater dignity of Jesus Christ, of whom, after all, Melchizedek was only a type. The Levites who placed such an inordinate weight of importance upon their extensive genealogies are here shown as paying tithes (in the person of Abraham) to one who was not reckoned after such genealogies, indeed having none at all, so far as the record showed! As Milligan said, "In all this, the transcendent dignity of Melchizedek, as the honored priest of the Most High God, is abundantly manifested.[11] "Without dispute" is similar to an expression of Paul, "without controversy" (1 Timothy 3:16). This is only a way of stating that the truth mentioned is so self-evident, axiomatic, and inherently obvious that it does not need to be proved.
