3879 — Melchizedek and the King of Egypt

By Editor

I think I have seen it stated somewhere that tablets have been found which were letters written by Melchizedek to the king of Egypt. Do you know if it is so, or am I mistaken?

Some years ago there was said to be such a find, and from that it was contended that Melchizedek used to live in Egypt, because there were letters there which used the name of Melchizedek. But in the first place, the matter was quite uncertain. In the second place, there is nothing to show that it is the Melchizedek of Genesis 14, hence we have nothing there which would in any wise modify the record which is given in the chapter named.
