1 Concerning the office of high priests taken from among men: 5 wherewith Christ's priesthood is compared, and its privileges set forth: 11 a further account of which is deferred, and for what reason.

FOR aevery high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

b ch. 2.18; 4.15. Nu. 15.22-29. ch. 7.28.

cAnd by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

c Le. 4.3; 9.7; 16.6,17. ch. 7.27.
