1. For every high priest is taken from among men, constituted on behalf of men in things relating to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,
2. who can have compassion on the ignorant and on those that are in error; for he himself is also compassed with weakness.
3. And by reason of this he ought, as for the people so also for himself, to offer for sins.
4. And no one takes this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
