In the New Testament, it is used to describe the Jewish high priests who were responsible for the temple worship and sacrifices. The high priest held a significant role in Jewish society, serving as a mediator between God and the people, especially on the Day of Atonement.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Jewish religious system, the high priest was a central figure, originally appointed from the line of Aaron, Moses' brother. The high priest's duties included entering the Holy of Holies once a year on Yom Kippur to offer sacrifices for the atonement of the people's sins. During the Second Temple period, the role of the high priest also became a political position, often influenced by the ruling powers, such as the Romans. The high priesthood was a hereditary position, but during the Roman occupation, it became subject to political appointments.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>749</b> <i>arxiereús</i> (from <a href="/greek/746.htm">746</a> <i>/arxḗ</i>, "chief, pre-eminent one" and <a href="/greek/2409.htm">2409</a> <i>/hiereús</i>, "a priest") – a chief-priest, i.e. a leader among priests.</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/757.htm">archó</a> and <a href="/greek/2409.htm">hiereus</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>high priest<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>chief priest (1), chief priests (64), high priest (53), high priest's (1), high priesthood (1), high priests (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 749: ἀρχιερεύς</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀρχιερεύς</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀρχιερέως</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">chief priest, high priest</span>. <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> He who above all others was honored with the title of priest, the chief of the priests, <span class="hebrew">הַגָדול</span> <span class="hebrew">כֹּהֵן</span> (<a href="/interlinear/leviticus/21-10.htm">Leviticus 21:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/numbers/35-25.htm">Numbers 35:25</a> (later <span class="hebrew">הָרֹאשׁ</span> <span class="hebrew">כֹּהֵן</span>, <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/25-18.htm">2 Kings 25:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_chronicles/19-11.htm">2 Chronicles 19:11</a>, etc.)): <a href="/interlinear/matthew/26-3.htm">Matthew 26:3</a>, and often in the Gospels, the Acts, and the Epistle to the Heb. It was lawful for him to perform the common duties of the priesthood; but his chief duty was, once a year on the day of atonement, to enter the Holy of holies (from which the other priests were excluded) and offer sacrifice for his own sins and the sins of the people (<a href="/interlinear/leviticus/16.htm">Leviticus 16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/9-7.htm">Hebrews 9:7, 25</a>), and to preside over the Sanhedrin, or supreme Council, when convened for judicial deliberations (<a href="/interlinear/matthew/26-3.htm">Matthew 26:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/22-5.htm">Acts 22:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/23-2.htm">Acts 23:2</a>). According to the Mosaic law no one could aspire to the high priesthood unless he were of the tribe of Aaron, and descended moreover from a high priestly family; and he on whom the office was conferred held it till death. But from the time of Antiochus Epiphanes, when the kings of the Seleucidae and afterward the Herodian princes and the Romans arrogated to themselves the power of appointing the high priests, the office neither remained vested in the pontifical family nor was conferred on anyone for life; but it became venal, and could be transferred from one to another according to the will of civil or military rulers. Hence, it came to pass, that during the one hundred and seven years intervening between Herod the Great and the destruction of the holy city, twenty-eight persons held the pontifical dignity (<span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, Antiquities 20, 10; see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">Αννας</span></span>).
