hebrews 5:3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

hebrews 5:3 and because of it he is obligated to offer [sacrifices] for sins, as for the people, so also for himself.

3. by reason hereof--"on account of this" infirmity.
he ought . . . also for himself, to offer for sins--the Levitical priest ought; in this our High Priest is superior to the Levitical. The second "for" is a different Greek term from the first; "in behalf of the people . . . on account of sins."

hebrews 5:3 and because of it he is obligated to offer [sacrifices] for sins, as for the people, so also for himself.
