- 1A priest in general.
1There is one Priest which is signifying or typical, another signified. The typical Priest was a person appointed by God, 1. to offer typical Sacrifices, 2. to make intercession for himself and others, 3. to declare to the people the doctrine of the Law, and the promise of the Messiah, and true Sacrifice which was to come. Such were all the Priests of the old Testament. For these three properties which we have reckoned, were common to the High-Priest with other inferior Priests.2
