Levi in Body of Ancestor?
I was reading in the book of Hebrews today and came upon Hebrews 7:9
"One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham, because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor." I don't know who Levi was, but he evidently was paying Abraham's tenth to Melchizedek. What does it mean "he was still in the body of his ancestor?"
