BDAG translates Heb 7:23a: "the priests of former times existed in greater
numbers" (848, s.v., POLUS, 1.b.).
(KAI hOI MEN PLEIONES EISIN GEGONOTES hIEREIS)
This appears to take hOI with hIEREIS--but that seems unusual to me given
that the verbal form intervenes, and that the author has been using hOI MEN
... hO DE alternately through the context (vv. 20, 21, 23, 24).
I'm also perplexed as to where "former times" comes from.
Unless this is just a generous paraphrase, I'd appreciate anyone explaining
this to me.
Thanks.
