Hebräer 5:2 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 5:2

Who can have compassion on the ignorant
Who have committed sins of ignorance, and bring their sacrifices for them; these he does not insult and upbraid, nor break out into anger and indignation against; but pities them, and sympathizes with them; has a just measure of compassion suitable to their condition, and bears with them with great moderation and temper:

and on them that are out of the way;
of God's commandments; who are like sheep going astray, and turn to their own way; who transgress the law of God, and err from it; perhaps such who sin knowingly and wilfully, and through infirmity, are meant:

for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity;
not of body only, but of mind, sinful infirmity; he had much of it, it beset him all around; he was "clothed" with it, as the Syriac version renders it; as Joshua the high priest was with filthy garments, ( Zechariah 3:3 ) .

Hebräer 5:2 In-Context

1 Denn jeder aus Menschen genommene Hohepriester wird für Menschen bestellt in den Sachen mit Gott, auf daß er sowohl Gaben als auch Schlachtopfer für Sünden darbringe;
2 der Nachsicht zu haben vermag mit den Unwissenden und Irrenden, da auch er selbst mit Schwachheit umgeben ist;
3 und um dieser willen muß er, wie für das Volk, so auch für sich selbst opfern für die Sünden.
4 Und niemand nimmt sich selbst die Ehre, sondern als von Gott berufen, gleichwie auch Aaron.
5 Also hat auch der Christus sich nicht selbst verherrlicht, um Hoherpriester zu werden, sondern der, welcher zu ihm gesagt hat: "Du bist mein Sohn, heute habe ich dich gezeugt".
