Melchizedek—twice, the second time in a prayer of Melchizedek: "Holy are you, Holy are you, Holy are you, Mother of the aeons, Barbelo, for ever and ever, Amen." The Three Steles of Seth offers a description of "the first aeon, male virginal Barbelo, the first glory of the invisible Father, she who is called 'perfect'."
English: Excerpts from the Person of Melchizedek: In writing the Epistle to the Hebrews, the Apostle reckons Melchizedek to be the Immortal Priest of God in heaven, a Divine spirit being, one who has lived with God from the beginnings of time till date and who will remain His priest forever, and not as a Canaanite priest king as many presume.

The identification of Shem as Melchizedek is found in the Talmud, Targumim and Midrashim.
