Melchizedek: A Priest and Type of Christ

Source: Nav

Hebrews 5:6, 10 And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” / and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 6:20 where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 7:1–21 This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, / and Abraham apportioned to him a tenth of everything. First, his name means “king of righteousness.” Then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” / Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.
