Heb 9:7. Ἅπαξ τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ) So LXX., Lev 16:34, once every year; on one day of the year, and on that same day but once. See A. A. Hochstetteri Ex. de Ingressu Summi Pontificis in Sanctum Sanctorum, pp. 19-24.-ὑπὲρ ἑαυτοῦ) for himself. The Vulgate has pro sua, for his own, viz. error of ignorance; I do not think, however, that ὑπὲρ τῶν ἑαυτοῦ was in the Greek copy from which it was translated. Although the priest was exempt from the errors or ignorance of the people, yet he was not without sin, and therefore stood in need of sacrifices, ch. Heb 7:27.-ἀγνοημάτων, ignorance, errors) This term has a very extensive meaning, as; on the contrary, ἐπίγνωσις, knowledge. See Num 15:22-31.
