27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.



Ver. 27. Who needeth not daily] êáè çìåñáí . Or, on a certain day of the year, so. at the feast of the expiations, Lev_16:29; see Heb_10:1.



First for his own sins] Else how could he stand before God for others? the priests therefore had their laver wherein to wash, before they offered any man’s sacrifice. The brazen altar stood without, the incense altar of gold within the sanctuary; to signify that our own lusts must be sacrificed ere we take upon us to pray for ourselves or others. David observeth this method, Psa_35:1-28 Psa_51:1-19. He first gets pardon for himself, and then makes request for Sion.
