Genesis 14:18
And Melchizedek,king of Complete,548 has brought out bread and wine, and himself is priest to el of uppermost one.549
| 549 | Melchizedek – My King is Justice Hebrew לְאֵ֥ל עֶלְיֽוֹן, le-el elyon. Noun + Adjective, paragogic nun. To an el of the uppermost, most-high. There are no definite articles though it gets interpreted as a “title” by translators. El (#410) is a singular noun distinct from elohim which is plural. El means god or mighty one. Elyon (#5945) is an adjective that means uppermost, highest. This speaks to the “builders most-high”, the kings, and the priests after the order of Melchizedek. “I, I have said, elohim are you all, and builders of uppermost [elyon] are the whole of you.” Psalm 82:6 literal “And he has been, if hearing you all are hearing in the voice of Yahweh your elohe to guard and to do the whole of his commandments which I command you Today, and Yahweh your elohe has set you most-high [elyon] upon the whole of the nations of the Earth.” Deut 28:1 literal Melchizedek means my King is a Just one (#4442). He is another foreshadow of “son-placement” (Rom. 8:29) the circumcised of the Flesh: Melchizedek…being made like to the Builder [Son] of God, doth remain a priest continually. Hebrews 7:3 YLT |
