G3739–ὅς–hos, hē

That hope we have as an anchor of the soul--an anchor that can neither break nor drag. It passes in behind the veil,

ἣν hēn “which”

to whom also Abraham presented a tenth part of all--being first, as his name signifies, King of righteousness, and secondly King of Salem, that is, King of peace:

ᾧ hō “to whom”ὅ ho “which”

Now think how great this priest-king must have been to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth part of the best of the spoil.

ᾧ hō “to whom”

He, however, to whom that prophecy refers is associated with a different tribe, not one member of which has anything to do with the altar.

ὃν hon “whom”ἧς hēs “which”

For it is undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing in connection with priests.

ἣν hēn “which”

and hold His office not in obedience to any temporary Law, but by virtue of an indestructible Life.

ὃς hos “who”

for the Law brought no perfect blessing--but on the other hand we have the bringing in of a new and better hope by means of which we draw near to God.

ἧς hēs “which”

who, unlike other High Priests, is not under the necessity of offering up sacrifices day after day, first for His own sins, and afterwards for those of the people; for this latter thing He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

ὃς hos “who”

Now in connexion with what we have been saying the chief point is that we have a High Priest who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God's Majesty in the heavens,

ὃς hos “who”

and ministers in the Holy place and in the true tabernacle which not man, but the Lord pitched.

ἣν hēn “which”

Every High Priest, however, is appointed to offer both bloodless gifts and sacrifices. Therefore this High Priest also must have some offering to present.

ὃ ho “that”

a Covenant unlike the one which I made with their forefathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out from the land of Egypt; for they would not remain faithful to that.' `So I turned from them,' says the Lord.

ἣν hēn “that”

`But this is the Covenant that I will covenant with the house of Israel after those days,' says the Lord: I will put My laws into their minds and will write them upon their hearts. And I will indeed be their God and they shall be My People.

ἣν hēn “that”

For a sacred tent was constructed--the outer one, in which were the lamp and the table and the presented loaves; and this is called the Holy place.

ᾗ hē “which [were]”

This had a censer of gold, and the ark of the Covenant lined with gold and completely covered with gold, and in it were a gold vase which held the manna, and Aaron's rod which budded and the tables of the Covenant.

ᾗ hē “which”

And above the ark were the Cherubim denoting God's glorious presence and overshadowing the Mercy-seat. But I cannot now speak about all these in detail.

ὧν hōn “which”

But into the second, the High Priest goes only on one day of the year, and goes alone, taking with him blood, which he offers on his own behalf and on account of the sins which the people have ignorantly committed.

ὃ ho “which”

And this is a figure--for the time now present--answering to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, unable though they are to give complete freedom from sin to him who ministers.

ἣν hēn “which”

how much more certainly shall the blood of Christ, who strengthened by the eternal Spirit offered Himself to God, free from blemish, purify your consciences from lifeless works for you to serve the ever-living God?

ὃς hos “who”

saying, "This is the blood which confirms the Covenant that God has made binding upon you."

ἧς hēs “which”

For, since the Law exhibits only an outline of the blessings to come and not a perfect representation of the things themselves, the priests can never, by repeating the same sacrifices which they continually offer year after year, give complete freedom f

ἃς has “which”

It is through that divine will that we have been set free from sin, through the offering of Jesus Christ as our sacrifice once for all.

ᾧ hō “that”

"`This is the Covenant that I will make with them after those days,' says the Lord: `I will put My laws upon their hearts and will write them on their minds;'"

ἣν hēn “that”

by the new and ever-living way which He opened up for us through the rending of the veil--that is to say, of His earthly nature--

ἣν hēn “which”

How much severer punishment, think you, will he be held to deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, has not regarded as holy that Covenant-blood with which he was set free from sin, and has insulted the Spirit from whom comes grace?

ᾧ hō “which”
