Nahmanides' typological interpretation of the encounter between Abram and Melchizedek (Gen. 14:18--20)

Many of Nahmanides' typological interpretations are closely associated with rabbinic Midrash and with Ra sh i's comments, themselves based on Midrash. An exceptional deviation from the interpretation of the Midrash and Rashi is found in Nahmanides' typological commentary on the encoun...

520 |a Many of Nahmanides' typological interpretations are closely associated with rabbinic Midrash and with Ra sh i's comments, themselves based on Midrash. An exceptional deviation from the interpretation of the Midrash and Rashi is found in Nahmanides' typological commentary on the encounter between Abram and Melchizedek (Gen. 14:18-20). Nahmanides, like the Midrash and Rashi, explains the encounter as hinting to the future priestly services in the Temple. But while the Midrash and Rashi emphasize the bread and wine offerings of Melchizedek, these are omitted from Nahmanides' commentary. The focus is shifted from Melchizedek's actions and gifts to those of Abram. Thus Nahmanides' interpretation offers an alternative typology to that of the rabbis and Rashi and he refrains from even mentioning their typological interpretation. The present article offers an explanation for this exception, in the light of anti-Christian polemic and the typological significance of Melchizedek and his offerings in the Christian interpretation.
