Hebrews 3:1

[Larry Kelsey]

What does this have to do with the Greek? Does the Greek render both words the same?

Shlama Akhi Chris,

The answer is 'yes.' There is only one word for 'priest' in the Greek N. T. ιερεύς...hiereus...pronounced hee-er-yooce' according to James Strong. The only one that is different is αρχιερεύς...archiereus...ar-khee-er-yuce' , used for 'high priest.' This is the same word as above only with αρχή ...archē...ar-khay' preceding it much like you would join "arch-" and "angel" to produce "archangel." Take our word for it! This one belongs in the Multiple-Inheritance section big-time! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/happy.gif" alt="" title="Happy" /><!-- s -->
