This presentation completes the author's main argument concerning Christ's superiority over the levitical priesthood, sanctuaries, covenants, sacrifices, and the efficaciousness of those offerings. This is accomplished by one of the author's most favorite constructions for comparison. He begins the unit with a συνκρισις through the μεν...δε construction, which sets up the comparative analysis of priestly action. This unit differs from the last, in that this one presupposes the daily service of the priests in comparison from the Yom Kippur service of the high priest in the previous unit (10:1-10 or pretty much all of ch. 9). The comparison demonstrates that the levitical priests are standing for the purpose of making offerings and performing priestly duties necessary to those ends. On the other hand, Christ is portrayed as seated at the right hand of God in heaven, which indicates that his one time offering was sufficient for the purifications of sins. Furthermore, the adverbial participle εκδεχομενος shows us the interim nature of that session. The second half of the presentation concerns the Pneumatological witness to the effecaciousness of Christ's one time offering for the elimination of all further sacrifices, since Christ's one time offering was more than sufficient to forgive all sins.
