Hebrews 5:1
Context5:1 For every high priest is taken from among the people 1 and appointed 2 to represent them before God, 3 to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
Hebrews 7:27
Context7:27 He has no need to do every day what those priests do, to offer sacrifices first for their own sins and then for the sins of the people, since he did this in offering himself once for all.
[5:1] 1 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.”
[5:1] 2 tn Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”
[5:1] 3 tn Grk “appointed on behalf of people in reference to things relating to God.”
