Dear friends,
I have a question about Heb 7:20:
hOI MEN GAR CWRIS hORKWMOSIAS EISIN hIEREIS GEGONOTES...
I wonder which translation of Greek GINOMAI better conveys the meaning of
Greek perfect tense:
For those priests were made without an oath (AV)
or:
for they indeed have been made priests without an oath (ASV)
?
Do I understand correctly that the first option describes those who
became priests at certain time in the past, and the second option
describes those who have been priests during the whole history BEFORE
coming of the Messiah? So which one is better?
Thank you for your help.
Dmitriy Reznik
