Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
He that is the high priest - This is the first place where this title is introduced; the title is very emphatic, haccohen haggadol , that priest, the great one. For the meaning of cohen , see the note on Genesis 14:18. As the chief or high priest was a representative of our blessed Lord, therefore he was required to be especially holy; and he is represented as God' s king among the people.
