1 For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both 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 the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that 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 by reason of this 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.
