Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) Called.--Rather, addressed. The divine words are, "Thou art a priest for ever." In the quotation from the Psalm, "priest" is now altered into "High Priest." The purport remains the same; or, rather, it is by this change of word that the meaning of the Psalm is fully expressed. This repetition of the words of Hebrews 5:6 at the close of the paragraph is singularly impressive.At this point the course of the argument is interrupted by a long digression (Hebrews 5:11 to Hebrews 6:20), to which the writer is led by reflection on the inability of his readers to receive the teaching which befits their Christian standing. If, however, we remember the practical aim that is predominant in the Epistle, we can hardly call this a digression, so powerfully is every portion of it made subservient to one great purpose.Parallel Commentaries ...Greek[and] was designatedπροσαγορευθεὶς (prosagoreutheis)Verb - Aorist Participle Passive - Nominative Masculine SingularStrong's 4316: To address by name, designate, accost.
