priest of the most high God,
who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings,
and blessed him;
To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all;
first being by interpretation King of righteousness,
and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; Without father, without mother,
without descent,
having neither beginning of days,
nor end of life;
but made like unto the Son of God;
abideth a priest continually.
Hebrews 7:1-3
"The name is composed from the two elements: melek(h), 'king', and ṣedeq, which means either 'righteousness' or the proper name Zedek. With the addition of the hiriq compaginis ( indicating the archaic construct form, malk-ī means 'king of', so that the name literally translates to 'king of righteousness'. wiki
"THE priesthood of the worldly Sanctuary of the first covenant belonged to the sons of Levi; but that of the heavenly, of the better covenant, to the Son of God.

He fulfills both the Priesthood of Melchizedek and Aaron. In some respects the Priesthood of Christ resembles that of Melchizedek; and in others that of Aaron or Levi.
1. He was “made a High Priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” Order: taxis, signifies “series, succession.” Christ, like Melchizedek, had no priestly descent of pedigree. He never followed nor will have a successor in office.

And because He continues ever, has an unchangeable Priesthood, “which passes not from one to another.”
The Priesthood of Levi to be continuous had many and a succession of priests, “because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death.”
2. Being after the order of Melchizedek, He is superior to the sons of Levi; because He blessed and received tithes from them in Abraham.
3. He is King and Priest; a King by birth, being from the tribe of Judah, and a Priest by the oath of His Father.
4. Being Himself perfect, and His priesthood unending, He is able to “perfect forever” and “save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for them.”
The Levitical Priesthood He was not called after the order of Aaron;
Paul distinctly shows that it is. After calling upon us to...
Hebrews 3:1...consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession [or religion], Christ Jesus,–He lays the foundation of the investigation by drawing the analogy between Moses over his house [oikos, “people”] and Christ over His.
Hebrews 5:4...as was Aaron. Like Aaron and his sons, He took upon Him flesh and blood, the seed of Abraham, Hebrews 4:15 ...was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin, Hebrews 2:10 ...[was made] perfect through suffering."

The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent,
The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent,
Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
