ἐπεισ-ᾰγωγή G1898
bringing in, introduction
A noun meaning the act of bringing in or introducing something additional. Hebrews 7:19 speaks of 'the bringing in (ἐπεισαγωγή) of a better hope' following the annulment of the former commandment. The term suggests replacement or supplementation, introducing something new to supersede or complement what existed before. Here it marks the transition from Mosaic law to the new covenant in Christ.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The author of Hebrews contrasts the old covenant's inability to perfect worshipers with the introduction of superior access to God. The multilingual glosses (Spanish 'introducción,' French 'introduction,' German 'Einführung') all capture the bringing-in motion. This is not merely addition but substitution: the Levitical priesthood and its regulations are set aside, and a better hope is ushered in through Christ's eternal priesthood after the order of Melchizedek. 1×
