FOR EVERY HIGH PRIEST TAKEN FROM AMONG MEN, IS ORDAINED FOR MEN, IN THINGS PERTAINING TO GOD, THAT HE MAY OFFER BOTH GIFTS AND SACRIFICES FOR SINS. § I. Introduction. § 2. The chapter\ and particularly this Vtrse, analyzed- § 3. (I.) The High Priest's origin. § 4. (II.) The nature of his office, § 5. (III.) The end of the priesthood. § 6. Observations, § 1. I F we consider the relation of these words to the foregoing parts of the epistle, (which treated of the person of Christ, his kingly and prophetical offices) they contain an entrance into a full and particular description of the sacerdotal office of the Messiah, with its excellency and benefits, which was the principal design of the epistle. And it was a design highly important; for besides the excellency of the doctrine in itself, and the inestimable benefits which the whole church received thereby, it was, on many accounts, peculiarly necessary for the Hebrews. § 2. There are three general parts of this chapter. First; a description of the office and duties of an high priest, [verse 1—4.] Secondly; the application of this general description to the person and priesthood of Jesus Vol. III. fi" Christ |
