1 Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is beset by weakness.

3 That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.

4 No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.
