	'''David Evan Pedley''' was born in Daly City,
	California on April 8, 1929 and is one of the
⚫	~~reputed founders of the~~ ].
	He wrote the ]'s preface,
	translated Genesis, Exodus, Matthew and parts of
	Revelation as his "gift" to the Dominion of
	Melchizedek according its "Introduction" which was
	first published in 1986. He also wrote the Glossary,
	which is called the "Key of David."

	According to the introduction of the Melchizedek
	Bible, David Pedley graduated from the University of
	California, Los Angeles. In his twenties, David
	became an entrepreneur. He attended classes with Dr.
	Josiah Merriman, a doctor turned [[Christian
	Scientist]]. Dr. Merriman "emphasized the importance
	of resurrecting the Dominion of Melchizedek from
	antiquity."

	David was incarcerated in the 1970's after being
	convicted of several financial crimes, including stock
	fraud. Pedley claims the charges were false and the
	result of a "witch-hunt" against him.
	While incarcerated, David started a cattle business,
	which Ben David operated for him in Los Angeles,
	California.

	Released in 1975, David partnered with his son Ben
	David in a real estate enterprise in Northern
	California. Pedley came under repeated grand jury
	investigations that resulted in further indictments
	against him. In 1982, David and his son Ben David
	fled to Mexico to avoid arrest. Ben David was arrested
	in January 1983 by Mexican immigration for not
	renewing his visa. After being deported to the U.S.
	Ben David was held pending trial. David Pedley
	surrendered to Mexican authorities. While
	incarcerated in Mexico, Pedley apparently began work
	on the Melchizedek Bible which was written over a period of 5 years by hand and on a computer (which he received from his son Ben David).
	David Pedley apparently died while in Mexican custody, though the circumstances are not clear. A closed casket funeral was held in Altadena, California. At the funeral, FBI agents approached the Pedley family and requested to fingerprint David’s body. This request was denied by the family and allegedly some government regulators believe that David Pedley is still alive.
