Why Did Abraham Tithe to Melchizedek?

                                                                                         

QUESTION:  In Genesis it tells the story about Abraham tithing to Melchizedek. I am curious as to when and where that happened in terms of his incarnation?

 

RICHARD:   That item seems to be an interjection that does not particularly relate to the story in which it is found. All it said, essentially, is that Abraham gave a tithe of the spoils of his battle to Melchizedek, priest-king of Salem. The ruler of Jerusalem was the King of Peace or, we say, Melchizedek which is essentially what it means: the King of Peace.
