THE EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL TO THE HEBREWS
St. Paul wrote this Epistle to the Christians in Palestine, the most part of whom being Jews before their conversion, they were called Hebrews. He exhorts them to be thoroughly converted and confirmed in the faith of Christ, clearly shewing them the preeminence of Christ's priesthood above the Levitical, and also the excellence of the new law above the old. He commends faith by the example of the ancient fathers: and exhorts them to patience and perseverance and to remain in fraternal charity. It appears from chap. 13 that this Epistle was written in Italy, and probably at Rome, about twenty-nine years after our Lord's Ascension.
God spoke of old by the prophets, but now by his Son, who is incomparably greater than the angels.
The figure... that is, the express image, and most perfect resemblance. Making purgation... That is, having purged away our sins by his passion.
The transgression of the precepts of the Son of God is far more condemnable than of those of the Old Testament given by angels.
