This shiur centers on the biblical encounter between Abram and Melchizedek as recorded in Genesis 14:18-20. The texts explore several critical issues, including the identity of Melchizedek and the significance of his appearance with bread and wine immediately preceding Abram's refusal of the King of Sodom’s offer. Commentaries debate why this section interrupts the narrative.
