   (In the Order Believed Written)

1 - In the earthly priesthood, every high priest from among men is appointed to act on behalf of the people in their relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 A priest can deal gently with the unknowing and wayward, since he himself has human weakness [astheneia - weakness, disease, infirmity, sickness, frailty, dependence, infirmity that causes inability to pursue or do what they would like to; from asthenes - “a” not, and sthenes - strength - without strength]. 3 So the {earthly} priest has to offer sacrifice for their own sin [hamartia - missing the mark] just as for those of the people. {Sacrifices for and on behalf of the people. noT for God’s sake - Ps.40:6 - “sacrifice and offering you do not want”.} 4 And no one takes this honor for theirself {of being a priest for the people} but only when called by God, as Moses’ brother Aaron was.
