Abram Gives a Tithe to Melchizedek

This illustration shows an elderly patriarch standing beside a priestly figure while baskets, jars, rolled goods, coins, and travel supplies are gathered nearby. A servant and camel in the background suggest a journey with possessions or spoils brought from afar. The scene fits the meeting of Abram and Melchizedek, when Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of God Most High, blessed Abram after his victory and Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

The image highlights an early biblical act of worship through giving. Melchizedek’s priestly clothing points to blessing and mediation, while the piled goods emphasize gratitude, honor, and the recognition that victory and provision come from God. This subject is useful for teaching on tithing, priesthood, covenant faith, generosity, and the foreshadowing of Christ’s eternal priesthood in Hebrews.
