Abstract

Study of terms connected with High Priest, both in Masoretic Text and in the LXX, gives the possibility to present the role, activity and exceptionality of High Priest. It is seen through the specific High Priest’s vestments, having particular functions. An expression of Priest’s dignity is a special blessing. These elements are presented in the context of biblical Judaism. The difference of the dignity and the High Priest’s function of Jesus Christ is presented by two groups of texts from Heb. The groups are build with two terms common with the LXX, ἀρχιερεὺς and ἱερεύς, both having a new theological connotation.
