Melchizedek [04-07]
One day, Abram met Melchizedek, the priest of God Most High. Melchizedek blessed Abram and said, “May God Most High who owns heaven and earth bless Abram.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all he owned.
「我必使你的后裔成为一个大国，我将是你的神，我会祝福那些祝福你的人，诅咒那些咒骂你的人。世界各国将因你而得福。」 神还要亚伯兰为家中所有的男性割损，作为盟约的标记。亚伯兰遂听从了。

Translation Notes:
- Melchizedek - Melchizedek was the recognized religious authority in Canaan who received and presented offerings to God.
- God Most High - The people of Canaan worshiped many false gods. The title, "Most High God" explains that the God that Melchizedek worshiped was far superior to all of them, and was the same God that Abram worshiped.
