Correlative demonstrative corresponding to κατ οσον kath' hoson (the relative clause) in Hebrews 7:20. The surety Vulgate sponsor. Old word, here only in the N.T., adjective (one pledged, betrothed), from εγγυη egguē a pledge, here used as substantive like εγγυητης egguētēs one who gives a pledge or guarantee. There may be a play on the word εγγιζω eggizō in Hebrews 7:19. Εγγυαω Egguaō is to give a pledge, εγγυαλιζω eggualizō to put a pledge in the hollow of the hand. It is not clear whether the author means that Jesus is God‘s pledge to man, or man‘s to God, or both. He is both in fact, as the Mediator (ο μεσιτης ho mesitēs Hebrews 8:6) between God and man (Son of God and Son of man). [source]
