Hebrews 3:2An Understandable Version (2005 edition)He was faithful to God who appointed Him, just as Moses was [also] faithful in [serving] God’s household [i.e., the Israelites]. See the chapter |
So, for this reason, He had to become like His brothers in every way [i.e., except that He never sinned], so that He could become a merciful and faithful Head Priest in things related to God’s [service], [and] that He could provide a means of purifying [Lev. 16:30] for people’s sins [i.e., a “covering over” or forgiveness of them].
