{In things pertaining to God} ( a pros ton theon).
Accusative of general reference as in 2:17 ( Ro 15:17 ). The
two essential points about any high priest are human sympathy
( 5:1-3 ) and divine appointment ( 5:4 ). He is taken from men
and appointed in behalf of men. {That he may offer} (hina
prospher(8869)). Purpose clause with hina and present active
subjunctive of prospher(935c), "that he keep on offering (from time
to time)." {Both gifts} (d(9372)a) {and sacrifices} (kai
thusias). General term (d(9372)a) and bloody offerings, but the
two together are inclusive of all as in 8:3 9:9 ( 1Ki 8:64 ).
{For sins} (huper hamarti(936e)). His own included ( 7:27 ) except
in the case of Jesus.
