Strong's Lexicon Melchisedek: Melchizedek Original Word: Μελχισεδέκ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew מַלְכִּי־צֶדֶק (Malki-Tzedek) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H4442 (מַלְכִּי־צֶדֶק, Malki-Tzedek) Usage: Melchizedek is a significant biblical figure whose name means "king of righteousness." 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
