Hebrews 7:26
Compare all
24 But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.
25 Therefore He is also aable to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives bto make intercession for them.  
26 For such a High Priest was fitting for us, awho is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, band has become higher than the heavens;  
27 who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His aown sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.  
28 For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.

Hebrews 7:26

Became us (hmin eprepen). Imperfect active indicative of prepw as in Hebrews 2:10, only there it was applied to God while here to us. "Such" (toioutov) refers to the Melchizedek character of Jesus as high priest and in particular to his power to help and save (Hebrews 2:17 f.) as just explained in Hebrews 7:24 f. Moffatt notes that "it is generally misleading to parse a rhapsody" but the adjectives that follow picture in outline the qualities of the high priest needed by us.

Holy (osiov). Saintly, pious, as already noted. Cf. Acts 2:24; Acts 13:35.

Guileless (akakov). Without malice, innocent. In N.T. only here and Romans 16:18.

Undefiled (amiantov). Untainted, stainless. In the papyri. Not merely ritual purity (Leviticus 21:10-15), but real ethical cleanness.

Separated from sinners (kexwrismenov apo twn amartwlwn). Perfect passive participle. Probably referring to Christ's exaltation (Hebrews 9:28).

Made higher than the heavens (uyhloterov twn ouranwn genomenov). "Having become higher than the heavens." Ablative case (ouranwn) after the comparative adjective (uyhloterov).
