He is introduced in the Old Testament as the king of Salem and a priest of the Most High God. In the New Testament, Melchizedek is used as a typological figure representing the eternal priesthood of Jesus Christ.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Melchizedek appears in Genesis 14:18-20, where he blesses Abram and receives a tithe from him. He is described as both a king and a priest, which was unusual in the ancient Near Eastern context, where these roles were typically separate. Salem is often identified with Jerusalem, adding to the significance of Melchizedek's role. In Jewish tradition, Melchizedek is sometimes associated with Shem, the son of Noah, though this is not explicitly stated in the Bible.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Hebrew origin <a href="/hebrew/4442.htm">Malki-tsedeq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Melchizedek, O.T. king of Salem<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Melchizedek (8).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3198: Μελχισέδεκ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Μελχισέδεκ</span></span> (in <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, Antiquities 1, 10, 2 <span class="greek2">Μελχισεδεκης</span>, <span class="greek2">Μελχισεδεκου</span>), <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="hebrew">מַלְכִּי־צֶדֶק</span>, <span class="accented">king of righteousness</span>), <span class="accented">Melchizedek,</span> king of Salem (see under <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">Σαλήμ</span></span>) and priest of the most high God, who lived in the days of Abraham: <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/5-6.htm">Hebrews 5:6, 10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/6-20.htm">Hebrews 6:20</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/7-1.htm">Hebrews 7:1, 10f, 15, 17, 21</a> (<span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span>); cf. <a href="/interlinear/genesis/14-18.htm">Genesis 14:18</a>ff; <a href="/interlinear/psalms/109-4.htm">Psalm 109:4</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Ps. 110:4>).
