Berean Strong's Lexicon aparabatos: Unchangeable, permanent, inviolable Original Word: ἀπαράβατος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-, "not") and παραβαίνω (parabainō, "to transgress" or "to violate") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "aparabatos," the concept of permanence and unchangeability can be related to Hebrew terms like עוֹלָם (olam, "eternal") and קַיָּם (qayam, "established" or "enduring"). Usage: The term "aparabatos" is used to describe something that is unchangeable or permanent. In the context of the New Testament, it refers to the eternal and unalterable nature of Christ's priesthood. This word emphasizes the enduring and unbreakable nature of His role as our High Priest, contrasting with the temporary and changeable priesthood of the Levitical order. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, the concept of priesthood was central to religious life. The Levitical priesthood, established under the Mosaic Law, was hereditary and subject to change due to death or disqualification. In contrast, the priesthood of Jesus Christ, as described in the book of Hebrews, is eternal and unchangeable. This reflects the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies and the establishment of a new covenant through Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection.
