3:25 mercy-seat: I do not think this word can be used for 'a propitiatory sacrifice' or 'propitiation;' it certainly is not the habitual use in the LXX; and we have the two parts of the work of the great day of atonement, here and in ch. 4:25; 'set forth,' here, has a reflexive force; see Note e, Heb. 1:3.
