Chapter 32: Melchizedek

Melchizedek, priest of El Elyon

Setting: Genesis 14:17-15:21

Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, and you who would seek the LORD.  Look to the rock from which you were hewn and the quarry from which you were dug.  Look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, your mother.  For he was but one when Adonai called him, that El Elyon might bless him and multiply him.  For Adonai comforts Zion; he comforts all her waste places and makes her wild places like the garden of God.  Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voices of song. 

And kings shall see and rise up, that they may prostrate themselves because of Adonai, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.
