rwp@Hebrews:3:5 @{And Moses} (\kai Muss men\). "Now Moses indeed on his part" (\men\ contrasted with \de\). {In} (\en\). Moses was in "God's house" "as a servant" (\hs therapn\). Old word, in LXX, only here in N.T. and quoted from kjv@Numbers:12:7f|. Kin to the verb \therapeu\, to serve, to heal, and \therapeia\, service (Luke:9:11|) and a group of servants (Luke:12:42|). {For a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken} (\eis marturion tn lalthsomenn\). Objective genitive of the articular future passive participle of \lale\. It is not certain what it means whether the "testimony" (\marturion\) is to Moses or to God and whether it points on to Christ. In 9:9| see \parabol\ applied to the old dispensation as a symbol pointing to Christ and Christianity. {But Christ} (\Christos de\). In contrast with Moses (\men\ in verse 5|). {As a son} (\hs huios\). Instead of a \therapn\ (servant). {Over his house} (\epi ton oikon autou\). The difference between \epi\ and \en\ added to that between \huios\ and \therapn\. It is very neat and quite conclusive, especially when we recall the high place occupied by Moses in Jewish thought. In kjv@Acts:7:11| the Jews accused Stephen of speaking "blasphemous words against Moses and God" (putting Moses on a par with God).
