1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins:
1
Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
2
He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness.
3 And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
3
This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
