ἱεράτευμα hieráteuma, hee-er-at'-yoo-mah; from G2407; the priestly fraternity, i.e. sacerdotal order (figuratively):—priesthood.
STRONGS G2406:
ἱεράτευμα, -τος, τό, (ἱερατεύω), [priesthood i. e.]
a. the office of priest.
b. the order or body of priests (see ἀδελφότης, αἰχμαλωσία, διασπορά, θεραπεία); so Christians are called, because they have access to God and offer not external but 'spiritual' (πνευματικά) sacrifices: 1 Peter 2:5; also ἱεράτ. βασίλειον, 1 Peter 2:9 (after Exodus 19:6, Sept.), priests of kingly rank, i. e. exalted to a moral rank and freedom which exempts them from the control of everyone but God and Christ. ([Exodus 23:22, etc.; 2 Macc. 2:17]; not found in secular authors.)
