A biblical figure, also spelled Melchizedek; an ancient priest-king mentioned in Genesis and the Book of Hebrews.
From Hebrew Melkiẓedeq (Malki-Ṣedeq), meaning 'king of righteousness' (malki- 'my king' + ṣedeq 'righteousness'). The spelling 'Chisedec' is an variant transliteration that emphasizes the second element.
Melchizedek/Chisedec is one of the most mysterious biblical figures—he appears briefly but never ages, has no genealogy, and becomes interpreted in Judaism and Christianity as either an angel, an incarnation of the holy spirit, or an eternal priesthood figure!
