Jewish, the equivalent of high priest. It is more frequently used in the plural, especially in the New Testament, to designate the actual and the ex-high priests. According to Flavius Josephus, the sons of high priestly families also bore that title. Finally, the heads of the 24 courses of priests organized by David may have been called chief priests.
