In things pertaining to God (ta pros ton theon). Accusative of general reference as in Heb 2:17 (Rom 15:17). The two essential points about any high priest are human sympathy (Heb 5:1-3) and divine appointment (Heb 5:4). He is taken from men and appointed in behalf of men.

That he may offer (hina prospherēi). Purpose clause with hina and present active subjunctive of prospherō, “that he keep on offering (from time to time).”

Both gifts (dōra) and sacrifices (kai thusias). General term (dōra) and bloody offerings, but the two together are inclusive of all as in Heb 8:3; Heb 9:9 (1Ki 8:64).

For sins (huper hamartiōn). His own included (Heb 7:27) except in the case of Jesus.
