Melchizedek Made Priest at Golgotha
After Shem and Melchizedek bury Adam's body at Golgotha, the Cave of Treasures says that Shem appoints the young man priest of the Most High God at that spot. Melchizedek, son of Malakh and Yozadhak, is to stay there all his life. He must not marry, shave his head, shed blood or put up a building, and he is to offer bread and wine instead of beasts and birds. Shem then goes home and tells the parents their son died on the road.
The book returns to him in the days of Abraham. Coming back from the battle of the kings, Abraham meets Melchizedek, king of Shalim, bows to him, gives him tithes and receives bread and wine from him. Abraham later brings the thirteen year old Isaac to the same mountain.

Methuselah had said the priest beside Adam's body would wear the skins of wild animals and never cut his hair or his nails.
Shem promised Melchizedek that the Angel of the Lord would come down and visit him continually at Golgotha.
Shem told Malakh and Yozadhak that their son had died on the journey, and they mourned for him greatly.
Melchizedek gave Abraham what the book calls the bread of the Offering and the wine of redemption after receiving his tithes.
The writer insists Melchizedek had human parents, whose names are simply missing from the genealogies in Matthew and Luke.
