Hi brinny. Long time no hear ehehe.
I hope this is off topic and if it is, I can delete it, but since as mentioned above concerning no lineage, Melchizedek's lineage is also missing.....
Kindgdom Bible Studies Royal Priesthood Part 17
In Genesis, chapter fourteen, we have one of the most intriguing stories in the Bible, that of Abram's encounter with Melchizedek, king of Salem, and "the priest of the Most High God." In the Genesis story Melchizedek is a strange and mysterious figure. He flashes across the scene like a meteor.
There is no heralding of his appearance, nor any mention of its results. He arrives out of the blue; there is no account of his family; there is nothing about his birth, his descent, his life, his work, or his death.
He simply arrives. We learn only that he was
king of Salem and priest of the Most High God.....
Salem is also mentioned where the LORD's temple/sanctuary is and I believe Salem means "peace"?.
Psa 76:2
And His
tabernacle is in
Salem, And His habitation in Zion.
Jerusalem also has "salem" in it along with the prefix word "hierou" which can mean priest or temple?
2419. Hierou-salem hee-er-oo-sal-ame' of Hebrew origin (3389); Hierusalem (i.e. Jerushalem), the capitol of Palestine:--Jerusalem. Compare 2414.
2411. hieron hee-er-on' neuter of 2413; a sacred place, i.e. the entire precincts (whereas 3485 denotes the central sanctuary itself) of the Temple (at Jerusalem or elsewhere):--temple.
4532. Salem sal-ame' of Hebrew origin (8004); Salem (i.e. Shalem), a place in Palestine:--Salem.
8004 Shalem shaw-lame' the same as
8003;

2418. hierou-rgeo hee-er-oorg-eh'-o from a compound of 2411 and the base of 2041; to be a temple-worker, i.e. officiate as a priest (figuratively):--minister.
