Hebreos 5:1 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 5:1

For every high priest taken from among men
Every one that was an high priest under the law was a man, and not an angel; and it was proper he should be so, that he might be a priest for men, have compassion on them, and offer for them; and he was among the number of common men, and was taken out from them, and chosen and separated from the rest of men, as Aaron and his sons were from the children of Israel, ( Exodus 28:1 ) . And such an one

is ordained for men;
in their room and stead, and for their good; and above them, as the word sometimes signifies; he was exalted unto, and invested with a superior office, to which he was ordained according to the law of a carnal commandment, by anointing with oil, and without an oath.

In things pertaining to God;
in things in which God had to do with men; and so he presided over them in the name of God, and declared the will of God unto them, and blessed them; and in things in which men had to do with God; and so he appeared in their name, and represented their persons, and presented their sacrifices to God, as follows:

that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;
freewill offerings, peace offerings, burnt offerings, sin and trespass offerings, all kind of sacrifice.

Hebreos 5:1 In-Context

1 Porque todo sumo sacerdote tomado de entre los hombres es constituido a favor de los hombres en las cosas que a Dios se refieren, para presentar ofrendas y sacrificios por los pecados;

2 y puede obrar con benignidad para con los ignorantes y extraviados, puesto que él mismo está sujeto a flaquezas;

3 y por esa causa está obligado a ofrecer sacrificios por los pecados, por sí mismo tanto como por el pueblo.

4 Y nadie toma este honor para sí mismo, sino que lo recibe cuando es llamado por Dios, así como lo fue Aarón.

5 De la misma manera, Cristo no se glorificó a sí mismo para hacerse sumo sacerdote, sino que lo glorificó el que le dijo: HIJO MIO ERES TU, YO TE HE ENGENDRADO HOY;
