Where in the Bible does God talk about the tithe Melchizedek's the High Priest?
Genesis 14:18-21New King James Version (NKJV) Abram and Melchizedek18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. 19 And he blessed him and said: "Blessed be Abram of God Most High,Possessor of heaven and earth;20 And blessed be God Most High,Who has delivered your enemies into your hand."And he gave him a tithe of all.21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the persons, and take the goods for yourself."
Why did Abram pay tithes to Melchizedek in Genesis 14-20?
Nobody knows for sure because The Bible does not say. All the commentaries and tithe-preachers say that he was either commanded to so or else freely chose to do so.A better suggestion comes from 14:21. The law of the land all around Abram's world of 2000 BC taught that one must give spoils of war to one's local king-priest. That is what I believe is the context.Why? The king of Sodom asked Abram for the persons because he knew that rightfully Abram could keep them as slaves If the law of the land controlled the 90% of 14:21 then it also controlled the 10% of 14:20.
Who was the king of Salem?
The king of Salem was Melchizedek, a figure mentioned in the Bible. He appears in the Book of Genesis, where he is described as both a king and a priest of God Most High. Melchizedek is notable for blessing Abram (later Abraham) and is often associated with themes of righteousness and peace. His significance extends into Christian theology, particularly in the context of Jesus' priesthood as described in the Book of Hebrews.
Why did Jesus call the priest after the order of Melchizedek in Hebrew 5 10?
Melchizedek (a king and priest) lived some 600 years before the Levitical priesthood was instituted. Levitical priests were priests because of their genealogy. Melchizedek (without any genealogy) and Jesus were not Levites. Christ was of the tribe of Judah. The Levites offered animal sacrifices; Jesus offered Himself. In the days of Moses, the tribe of Levi was set apart for priesthood. Later, another family was set apart for kings. The kings ruled the people while the priests offered sacrifices. Christ was both King and Priest; similiar to, but far greater than Melchizedek. Another View: The Genesis account of Abram giving tithes to Melchizedek, King David's Psalm 110:1-4, and Paul's 3 chapters in Hebrews (5 thru 7), will eventually point the reader to conclude that the identity of Melchizedek was the pre-existing Word in the Old Testament (Logos), who lowered Himself and was begotten by His Father to become Jesus our Christ some 2,000 years after blessing Abram.
