Hebrews 8:4

8:4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer ¹  the gifts prescribed by the law.

Hebrews 5:1

5:1 For every high priest is taken from among the people ²  and appointed ³  to represent them before God, ⁴  to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

Hebrews 8:3

8:3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. So this one too had to have something to offer.

Hebrews 9:9

9:9 This was a symbol for the time then present, when gifts and sacrifices were offered that could not perfect the conscience of the worshiper.

Hebrews 11:4

11:4 By faith Abel offered God a greater sacrifice than Cain, and through his faith ⁵  he was commended as righteous, because God commended him for his offerings. And through his faith ⁶  he still speaks, though he is dead.

¹ tn Grk “there are those who offer.”

² tn Grk “from among men,” but since the point in context is shared humanity (rather than shared maleness), the plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) has been translated “people.”

³ tn Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”

⁴ tn Grk “appointed on behalf of people in reference to things relating to God.”

³ tn Or “through his sacrifice”; Grk “through which.”

⁴ tn Or “through his sacrifice”; Grk “through it.”
