The Priestly Order of Melchizedek
1 For this Gen. 14:18-20Melchizedek, king of Ps. 76:2Salem, priest of Num. 24:16;Deut. 32:8the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 2 and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace. 3 He is without father or mother [ver. 6]or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest forever.
