mediator (one who intervenes between two parties)
Senses
1. mediator (one who intervenes between two parties) — A person who stands between two parties to effect reconciliation or agreement, used in the NT for Moses as mediator of the Law (Gal 3:19-20) and Christ as mediator of a new/better covenant (1 Tim 2:5, Heb 8:6, 9:15, 12:24). The nominative, dative, and genitive forms are purely case inflections with no semantic distinction. All translations confirm a single concept: spa 'mediador,' hin 'madhyasth,' arb 'wasit,' kor 'jungboja,' swa 'mpatanishi.' The term carries legal and covenantal weight uniformly across all six occurrences. 6×
