The author is setting up an arguments here. Remember, this book was written to Jewish people who were thinking of leaving Christianity & going back to Judaism. The author reminds them of Melchizedek. He was the first person spoken of as a high priest of God Most High. This event in Genesis happened 400+ years before God told the Jewish people about the Tabernacle. This man wasn't a Jew, yet he was honored as an authority by Abraham.
So, how does that apply to us? Realize that it's not about your genealogy, your ethnicity, your family connections. It's about your heart. Melchizedek knew God. That's what's important. Do you know God?
