§. 173. Of Christ an high and great Priest.
AS Christ was a true Priest, so he is here styled by the Apostle, an High Priest. In Greek these two words are compounded in one, which word for word we may translate aArch-Priest: as bArch-Angel, 1 Thess. 4. 16. Jude v. 9. cArch-Shepherd, or Chief Shepherd, 1 Pet. 5. 4. dArch-builder, or Master-builder, 1 Cor. 3. 10. eArch-Publican, or Chief-Publican, Luk. 19. 2. In the Hebrew, the phrase translated fHigh Priest, is great Priest, Levit. 21. 10. And the same person translated in English Chief Priest, is in Hebrew, gHead-Priest, 2 King. 25. 18.
