Ebrei 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 ) .

Ebrei 5:2 In-Context

1 Poiché ogni sommo sacerdote, preso di fra gli uomini, è costituito a pro degli uomini, nelle cose concernenti Dio, affinché offra doni e sacrifici per i peccati;
2 e può aver convenevole compassione verso gl’ignoranti e gli erranti, perché anch’egli è circondato da infermità;
3 ed è a cagion di questa ch’egli è obbligato ad offrir dei sacrifici per i peccati, tanto per se stesso quanto per il popolo.
4 E nessuno si prende da sé quell’onore; ma lo prende quando sia chiamato da Dio, come nel caso d’Aronne.
5 Così anche Cristo non si prese da sé la gloria d’esser fatto Sommo Sacerdote; ma l’ebbe da Colui che gli disse: Tu sei il mio Figliuolo; oggi t’ho generato;
