અને ઇબ્રાહિમે લડાઈમાં જે મેળવ્યું હતું તેનો દસમો ભાગ તેને આપ્યો. તેના નામનો પહેલો અર્થ તો ‘ન્યાયીપણાનો રાજા,’ પછી ‘શાલેમનો રાજા,’ એટલે ‘શાંતિનો રાજા’ છે.
हिन्दीइब्रानियों ७:२
इसी को अब्राहम ने सब वस्तुओं का दसवाँ अंश भी दिया। यह पहले अपने नाम के अर्थ के अनुसार, धार्मिकता का राजा और फिर शालेम अर्थात् शान्ति का राजा है।
