Melchizedek or Malki Tzedek ( /mɛl.ˈkɪz.ə.dɪk/); Hebrew מַלְכִּי־צֶדֶק malḵ-i ṣédeq) translated as "my king (is) righteous(ness)") is a king and priest mentioned during the Abram narrative in the 14th chapter of the Book of Genesis.
He is introduced as the king of Salem, and priest of El Elyon ("God most high"). He brings out bread and wine and blesses Abram and El Elyon.Chazalic literature, specifically Targum Jonathan, Targum Yerushalmi, and the Babylonian Talmud, presents the name (מלכי־צדק) as a nickname title for Shem, the son of Noah.
In the majority of Masoretic (Hebrew) text the name is written in as two words ("malki zedek"). Whereas in the Septuagint, New Testament, Latin Vulgate and Authorised King James Version he appears as one word.
The Epistle to the Hebrews, along with Philo and Josephus, interpret the name as meaning "the king", and "tzedek", meaning "righteous(ness)" or "justice". This interpretation is upheld by modern scholars because in the Dead Sea Scroll 4QAmram 2.3 is found the opposite name Melchi-resha ("king of evil") for a chief angel of darkness.
