(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And - a new point of contrast; the frequent repetition of the sacrifices.
priest - The oldest manuscripts read, “high priest.” Though he did not in person stand “daily” offering sacrifices, he did so by the subordinate priests of whom, as well as of all Israel, he was the representative head. So “daily” is applied to the high priests (Heb 7:27).
standeth - the attitude of one ministering; in contrast to “sat down on the right hand of God,” Heb 10:12, said of Christ; the posture of one being ministered to as a king.
which - Greek, “the which,” that is, of such a kind as.
take away - utterly; literally, “strip off all round.” Legal sacrifices might, in part, produce the sense of forgiveness, yet scarcely even that (see on Heb 10:4); but entirely to strip off one’s guilt they never could.
