This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb 5:2. Μετριοπαθεῖν, To have a feeling of moderation [have compassion]) Hesychius, μετριοπαθὴς μικρὰ πάσχων ἢ συγγινώσκων ἐπιεικῶς. Τὸ μέτρον, moderation is opposed to severity and rigour, which are shown towards none but the obstinate; ch. Heb 10:28.-δυνάμενος, who is able) who does not please Himself; comp. Rom 15:3.-ἀγνοοῦσι καὶ πλανωμένοις, to the ignorant and them that are out of the way [in error]) those that sin through ignorance and error: שגה, LXX., ἀγνοεῖν, to be ignorant. Simple ignorance is merely want of attention and memory; but error (being out of the way) interchanges [confounds] good and evil, truth and falsehood.-ἀσθενείαν, infirmity) which is sinful and to be expiated by sacrifices.
