    I think this is what you are asking brother Greimuth. In Genesis 14:17, the term "King's dale" or "King's Valley" refers to a location near the city of Jerusalem. This valley is mentioned in the context of an encounter between Abraham (then known as Abram) and the King of Salem, Melchizedek. Melchizedek, who is described as a priest of God Most High, met Abraham in the King's Valley and blessed him.

    The exact location of the King's Valley is not definitively identified in the Bible, and its precise geographical location remains a subject of debate among scholars and historians. Some believe it to be associated with the Kidron Valley, which runs east of Jerusalem, while others have different interpretations.

    The significance of this passage in Genesis is primarily related to the meeting between Abraham and Melchizedek, which is seen as a foreshadowing of Christ's priesthood in the New Testament, as Melchizedek is described as a priest of God Most High and a type of Christ. The King's Valley serves as the backdrop for this important biblical encounter.

    Hi Griemuth,

    The Holy Spirit instructs us of a holy family and it was determined before the worlds were founded. It is thus the Spirit begins with Adam who is a double for the Son. Even in a figurative sense is meant to be the body of Christ, the church. In the story of Cain killing Abel who was the righteous one we see Seth taking his place so the holy family may continue. This also gives us a reason why God sent his Son to the world. We who were dead in sins may be brought into the fellowship of God with Man. It is thus at every turn we have the holy family continuing to the last chapter. The Bible is not about history of Israel, natural world but about God who is a Spirit and our blessings determined before ages describes of inheritance of saints in the kingdom of light.

    In the Ch.5 of Genesis you may note how the Spirit makes a distinction between the holy family and others. In vv.6-7 Enos belongs to the family sanctified by God. "And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos/And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters. " This is repeated over and over. Noah was righteous in his generation. "And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation."(Ge.7:1) Noah is a double for the Son who leads a holy family which foreshadows Christ leading his bride Re.21:1-3
