Abstract

Over the past several years, there has been much debate on the nature of Christ's intercessory work in Hebrews. At present, the most recent arguments are in favor of understanding it in view of a continuing Yom Kippur atoning liturgy or an atoning tamid sacrifice. This article argues that a continuing sacrificial framework of any variety does not best explain the presentation in Hebrews of Jesus's ongoing work. Through an analysis of the passages in which Jesus's body and intercession are related and through recourse to patristic and medieval interpreters, this article argues that Jesus's intercession--and the role of his body and blood therein--is best understood through the frameworks of the ark and the paschal blood.
