1 For every high priest selected from among men is appointed to officiate on their behalf in matters relating to God, that is, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

2 He can deal gently with people who are ignorant and easily deceived, since he himself is subject to weakness.

3 For that reason he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins as well as for those of the people.

4 No one takes this honor upon himself but he is called to it by God, just as Aaron was.
