Was, х eexiootai (G515)] - has been.'
Counted worthy of more glory - by God, when He exalted Him to His own right land. The Hebrew Christians admitted this (Hebrews 1:13).
Builded the house. 'More honour than the house hath he who constructed it' х kataskeuasas (G2680)], instead of "builded," marks that the building meant is not literal, but spiritual-the Church both of the Old and New Testaments; and that the building of such a house includes all the preparations of Providence and grace made to furnish it with 'living stones,' and 'servants.' Compare Exodus 1:21. He who founds a family is said to build it х baanah (H1129), whence ben (H1121), 'a son']. As Christ the Founder (1 Corinthians 3:9; 1 Peter 2:5) is greater than the house so constructed, including the servants, He is greater also than Moses, who was but a "servant." Glory results from honour.
