1
After three days, Malki-Tsedeq descended from the mountain.
2
He carried a horn of oil and marked the act according to the command he had received.
3
He blessed Avram (Abram) by El Elyon.
4
He declared that Avram’s name would be brought to fullness and called Avraham.
5
The Syriac story therefore places blessing, anointing, and the completed name within the meeting of the priest and the patriarch.
6
The direction of the blessing remains explicit: Malki-Tsedeq blesses Avraham, and Avraham receives rather than seizes the priestly act.
