People's Commentary (NT)
Hebrews 5:3
And by reason hereof. Of his own infirmity, in that he was of men.
He ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
As one of a sinful race he needed to approach God in his own behalf, as
well as in behalf of men. He offered atonement for his own sins and for
the sins of the people (Leviticus 9:7). This was shown forth in the very
garments he wore when he offered the national atonement once a year. On
the shoulder of the ephod were two onyx stones, on which were engraved
the names of the twelve sons of Jacob, the representatives of all the
tribes of Israel, of Levi the priestly tribe as well as the others
(Exodus 28:10). As he stood before the mercy-seat interceding, he bore
all these names before the Lord.
