and he was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

And he did not enter to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own,

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

For it is indeed fitting for us to have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.

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

But only the high priest enters once a year into the inner tent, and not without blood that he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.

But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things to come. He passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,

Therefore he had to be made like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.
