Subject: Capitals? What was your question Ray? |
Bible Note: Hello Ray! Hebrews 7:26 is describing Jesus as our "high priest". The word usage in the Greek for 'high priest' in this verse does not refer to God directly (as far as specific word usage) and therefore does not denote capitalization for the noun 'high priest'. Therefore, 'high priest' in the context of this verse is indeed describing Jesus as our perfect and exalted high priest, but is using a human term ('high priest' as pertaining to the Law vv. 28) to describe Jesus, and is therefore not capitalized. We can contrast the word usage here with vv. 25 and 27-28, where Diety is directly referred to (and rendering capitalization), while the human term as pertaining to the law, 'high priest', remains uncapitalized. |
