The chief priest of the Jews, whose special duties were to officiate on the Day of Atonement, preside over the court of judgment, and consult the Divine oracle; his office was usually for life. It is a title of Christ in the New Testament: "a merciful and faithful high priest before God" (Hebrews 2). See also: chief priest.
