Hebrews 5:5
ה כֵּן גַּם הַמָּשִׁיחַ לֹא נָטַל לְעַצְמוֹ אֶת הַכָּבוֹד לִהְיוֹת כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל, אֶלָּא קִבֵּל זֹאת מֵאֵת הָאוֹמֵר אֵלָיו, ״בְּנִי אַתָּה, אֲנִי הַיּוֹם יְלִדְתִּיךָ״; (תהילים ב׳ ז׳)
Hebrews 5:5
5 So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, “Thou art My Son, Today I have begotten Thee” (NASB)
Psalm 2:7
7 “I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, ‘Thou art My Son, Today I have begotten Thee. (NASB)
Here in Hebrews 5:5 the author quotes Psalms 2:7 the author of Hebrews states that the Messiah did not need to glorify himself to become a high priest. The point is that He is the Son of God, so He is near God our Father because He is God’s Son! Being the Son of God has greater privileges than the high priest. The Author of Hebrews is using the Torah to emphasize the position of the Messiah Yeshua in relation to the high priest. The Torah has not passed away.
