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.

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.
In Mormonism, the Melchizedek priesthood (/ m ɛ l ˈ k ɪ z ɪ d ɛ k /), [1] [2] also referred to as the high priesthood of the holy order of God [3] or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God, [4] is the greater of the two orders of priesthood, the other being the Aaronic priesthood.
Variants of this story with often similar names for Noah's fourth son are also found in the c. fifth century Ge'ez work Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan (Barvin), the c. sixth century Syriac book Cave of Treasures (Yonton), the seventh century Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius (Ionitus [148]), the Syriac Book of the Bee 1221 (Yônatôn), the ...
