Assuming the premise that Melchizedek was Shem, he would have been 465 years old at the time and Abram was 75 years of age. [65] Chazalic literature unanimously identify Melchizedek as Shem son of Noah (Targum Yonathan to Genesis chapter 14, Genesis Rabbah 46:7, Babylonian Talmud to Tractate Nedarim 32b).
Based on biblical life spans in the Masoretic text, Shem would have still been alive during Abraham's lifetime. The identification of Shem as Melchizedek is found in the Talmud, Targumim and Midrashim. [11] Many Christian sources have said Shem was associated with Melchizedek for anti-Christian reasons [dubious – discuss] [citation needed ...
The majority of Chazalic literature attributes the primary character of psalm 110 as King David [6] who was a "righteous king" (מלכי צדק) of Salem (Jerusalem) and, like Melchizedek, had certain priest-like responsibilities, while the Babylonian Talmud understands the chapter as referring to Abram who was victorious in battling to save his nephew Lot and merited priesthood.

Shem is regarded by scholars to be the successor to Noah, receiving prophetic knowledge, enlightenment, and leadership of his people. Shem was also one of the people whom God had Jesus resurrect as a sign to the Children of Israel. [11] Early Islamic historians like Ibn Ishaq and Ibn Hisham always included Shem's name in the genealogy of ...
The Story of Melchizedek or History of Melchizedek (Latin: Historia de Melchisedech) is an anonymous apocryphal account of the life of Melchizedek originally written in Greek. [1] Melchizedek is a priest and king mentioned twice in the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 14:18–20 and Psalm 110:4) and once in the New Testament (Hebrews 7). [2]
The Generations of Noah, also called the Table of Nations or Origines Gentium, [1] is a genealogy of the sons of Noah, according to the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 10:9), and their dispersion into many lands after the Flood, [2] focusing on the major known societies.
There are several different interpretations as to the exact birth year of Shem and his son Arphaxad. Based on Noah being at least 500 years old when he began to beget children [55] [non-primary source needed] and Noah's sons each having an age difference, [56] [57] [non-primary source needed] it is not uncommon to encounter chronologies that ...
BUT all long chrons have extended-Shem die a minimal of 540-590 years before Shem-Melchizedek dies. (Add 600 replace 159 (29+130) with 149 (79+70), or add 600 and replace Terah's 130 with 70. My study of not genealogy but other chronologies indicates Melkizedek is a title of longevity given to postFlood Noah before Shem built Salem.
