## He blessed him ##

|
|
King Melchizedek blessed Abram.
|
|
|
|
## Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth ##
|
|
|
|
This can also be translated with an active clause: "May God Most High, the Creator of heaven and earth, bless Abram" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]]).

|
## God Most High, who has delivered ##
|
|
|
|
The phrase starting with "who has delivered" tells us something more about God Most High. You can also translate this as "God Most High, because he has delivered."
|
|
|
|
## Blessed be God Most High ##
|
|
|
|
This is a way of praising God. See how you translated "Blessed be" in [Genesis 9:26](../09/26.md).
