Already in earlier passages the author describes the characteristics of the high priest (2:17-18; 4:14-15; 5:1-5). In 7:26-28 the writer centers his explanation of the heavenly high priest on holiness, sinlessness, sacrifice, and perfection. The theme of Jesus’ perfection, introduced in 2:10 and implied in 7:11, culminates in the words: “the Son … has been made perfect forever.”
