Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
He first notes the resemblance between Moses and Christ, to conciliate the Hebrew Christians, who still entertained a very high opinion of Moses; he afterward brings forward Christ's superiority.
Who was, х onta (G5607)] - 'being.' He still is faithful, as our mediating High Priest, to the trust God has assigned Him (Hebrews 2:17). So Moses in God's house (Numbers 12:7).
Appointed - `made Him' HIGH PRIEST: so Hebrews 5:5; 1 Samuel 12:6, margin; Acts 2:36: so the Greek fathers. Not as Ambrose and the Latins, 'created Him' - i:e., as man, in His incarnation. Moses' likeness to Messiah was foretold by himself (Deuteronomy 18:15). Other prophets only explained Moses, who was therefore their superior: Christ was like Moses, yet superior.
