1 Every high priest is appointed to help others by offering gifts and sacrifices to God because of their sins.
2 A high priest has weaknesses of his own, and he feels sorry for foolish and sinful people.
3 That is why he must offer sacrifices for his own sins and for the sins of others.
4 But no one can have the honour of being a high priest simply by wanting to be one. Only God can choose a priest, and God is the one who chose Aaron.
