¹⁷ Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people.

¹⁴ Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.

¹⁶ Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.

¹ Every high priest who is taken from among men is given his position to take care of the interests of men in those things which have to do with God, so that he may make offerings for sins.

² He is able to have feeling for those who have no knowledge and for those who are wandering from the true way, because he himself is feeble;

²⁶ It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

¹⁴ And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One;

⁷ But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;

⁸ And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.

²⁴ Seventy weeks have been fixed for your people and your holy town, to let wrongdoing be complete and sin come to its full limit, and for the clearing away of evil-doing and the coming in of eternal righteousness: so that the vision and the word of the prophet may be stamped as true, and to put the holy oil on a most holy place.

¹¹ For he who makes holy and those who are made holy are all of one family; and for this reason it is no shame for him to give them the name of brothers,

² Who kept faith with God who gave him his place, even as Moses did in all his house.

⁵ And Moses certainly kept faith as a servant, in all his house, and as a witness of those things which were to be said later;

²⁸ The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.

²¹ And you, who in the past were cut off and at war with God in your minds through evil works, he has now made one

¹⁶ And that the two might come into agreement with God in one body through the cross, so putting an end to that division.

¹⁸ But all things are of God, who has made us at peace with himself through Christ, and has given to us the work of making peace;

¹⁹ That is, that God was in Christ making peace between the world and himself, not putting their sins to their account, and having given to us the preaching of this news of peace.

²⁰ So we are the representatives of Christ, as if God was making a request to you through us: we make our request to you, in the name of Christ, be at peace with God.

²¹ For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

¹⁵ And he put it to death; and Moses took the blood and put it on the horns of the altar and round it with his finger, and made the altar clean, draining out the blood at the base of the altar; so he made it holy, taking away what was unclean.

²⁴ And the priests put them to death, and made a sin-offering with their blood on the altar, to take away the sin of all Israel: for the king gave orders that the burned offering and the sin-offering were for all Israel.

⁵ And righteousness will be the cord of his robe, and good faith the band round his breast.

¹⁵ And one lamb from the flock out of every two hundred, from all the families of Israel, for a meal offering and for a burned offering and for peace-offerings, to take away their sin, says the Lord.

¹⁷ And the ruler will be responsible for the burned offering and the meal offering and the drink offering, at the feasts and the new moons and the Sabbaths, at all the fixed feasts of the children of Israel: he will give the sin-offering and meal offering and burned offering and the peace-offerings, to take away the sin of the children of Israel.

²⁰ And this you are to do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who is in error and for the feeble-minded: you are to make the house free from sin.

¹⁰ For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life;

¹⁷ So I have pride in Christ Jesus in the things which are God's.
