And [having an] high priest over the house of God.] The church of God, over which Christ is as prophet, priest, and King, and as the Son and owner of it; (see Gill on “<580306>Hebrews 3:6”); (see Gill on “<580414>Hebrews 4:14”). In the Greek text it is, “a great priest”; so the Messiah is called by the Targum on (<380612>Zechariah 6:12) br ˆhk, “a great priest”, as he is; even a great high priest, as in (<580414>Hebrews 4:14), and greater than Aaron, and any of his sons.
