Abstract
More than any other scholar Albert Vanhoye has attempted to use the detection of inclusions as a cornerstone of his literary analysis of the book of Hebrews. Albert Vanhoye correctly notes an inclusio, opened in Hebrew 3:1 and closed in 4:14, which is crafted around four terms common to both verses: Jesus, high priest, forms of heaven. The series of parallels found in 4:14-16 and 10:19-23, noted by Wolfgang Nauck, represent the most striking use of inclusio in the book of Hebrews. The necessity of a new priest arising according to the order of Melchizedek came about, according to the author of Hebrews, because of the imperfection of the law-ordained priesthood. In Hebrew 10:1 the author of Hebrews refers to the multiple sacrifices offered under the Law. The one sacrifice made by Jesus is the topic of Heb.10:14.Keywords: Albert Vanhoye; Hebrews; inclusio; Melchizedek
