3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Mediator
   one who intervenes between two persons who are at variance, with
   a view to reconcile them. This word is not found in the Old
   Testament; but the idea it expresses is found in Job 9:33, in
   the word "daysman" (q.v.), marg., "umpire."
   
     This word is used in the New Testament to denote simply an
   internuncius, an ambassador, one who acts as a medium of
   communication between two contracting parties. In this sense
   Moses is called a mediator in Gal. 3:19.
   
     Christ is the one and only mediator between God and man (1
   Tim. 2:5; Heb. 8:6; 9:15; 12:24). He makes reconciliation
   between God and man by his all-perfect atoning sacrifice. Such a
   mediator must be at once divine and human, divine, that his
   obedience and his sufferings might possess infinite worth, and
   that he might possess infinite wisdom and knowlege and power to
   direct all things in the kingdoms of providence and grace which
   are committed to his hands (Matt. 28:18; John 5:22, 25, 26, 27);
   and human, that in his work he might represent man, and be
   capable of rendering obedience to the law and satisfying the
   claims of justice (Heb. 2:17, 18; 4:15, 16), and that in his
   glorified humanity he might be the head of a glorified Church
   (Rom. 8:29).
   
     This office involves the three functions of prophet, priest,
   and king, all of which are discharged by Christ both in his
   estate of humiliation and exaltation. These functions are so
   inherent in the one office that the quality appertaining to each
   gives character to every mediatorial act. They are never
   separated in the exercise of the office of mediator.
   

4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
