and, צֶדֶק king Shālēm
Salem is the short name for the city of Jerusalem (See: Psalm 76:2). The Shaveh Valley, where Melchizedek met Abram, was located just east of Jerusalem. You could put some of that information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “Then Melchizedek who was the king over the city of Salem also went there, and he”

brought_out food/grain/bread and,wine
It is not known whether Melchizedek brought out a large amount of bread and wine to feed Abram and his men, or if he brought out just enough for him and Abram to share, possibly as part of establishing a covenant between them. The first alternate above would work for either meaning. See how you translated wine in Gen 9:21, 24. Alternate translation: “brought (some) bread and wine for them to eat and drink.” or “brought some bread and wine for Abram and his men to eat and drink.”

A priest is someone who represents people to God, and who represents God to the people. He leads the people in praying, worship, making sacrifices, ceremonies, and festivals. Alternate translation: “a priest for”
לְאֵ֥ל עֶלְיֽוֹן
of,God most_high
Alternate translation: “the most high God.” or “the highest God.” or “God who is higher than all other gods.”
14:18 Melchizedek means “king of righteousness,” suggesting that he was a righteous servant of God. He was probably a Jebusite priest and king; later authors regarded him as a type of Christ (Ps 110:4; Heb 7:1-19).
• Salem is the ancient name of Jerusalem (cp. Ps 76:2).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
