And--a new point of contrast; the frequent repetition of the sacrifices.
priest--The oldest manuscripts read, "high priest." Though he did not in person stand "daily" offering sacrifices, he did so by the subordinate priests of whom, as well as of all Israel, he was the representative head. So "daily" is applied to the high priests (Heb 7:27).
standeth--the attitude of one ministering; in contrast to "sat down on the right hand of God," Heb 10:12, said of Christ; the posture of one being ministered to as a king.
which--Greek, "the which," that is, of such a kind as.
take away--utterly; literally, "strip off all round." Legal sacrifices might, in part, produce the sense of forgiveness, yet scarcely even that (see on Heb 10:4); but entirely to strip off one's guilt they never could. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And every priest standeth daily ministering - That is, this is done every day. It does not mean literally that every priest was daily concerned in offering sacrifices, for they took turns according to their courses, (notes on Luk 1:5), but that this was done each day, and that every priest was to take his regular place in doing it; Num 28:3. The object of the apostle is to prove that under the Jewish economy sacrifices were repeated constantly, showing their imperfection, but that under the Christian economy the great sacrifice had been offered once, which was sufficient for all.
And offering oftentimes the same sacrifices - The same sacrifices were offered morning and evening every day.
Which can never take away sins - notes, Heb 9:9; Heb 10:1. |

sins
Sin
(See Scofield) - (Rom 3:23). |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Every priest (πᾶς)
Suggesting many priests. Comp. Heb 7:23.
Standeth (ἕστηκεν)
Servile attitude, contrasted with that of the exalted Savior, Heb 1:3.
Daily - often - the same
The wearisome round of daily offerings, always the same, contrasted with the one offering, once for all.
Take away (περιελεῖν)
Only here in connection with sin. See on Co2 3:16. The verb literally means to strip off all round. See Gen 41:42 (of a ring): Gen 38:14; Deu 21:13 (of clothes). Comp. εὐπερίστατος, Heb 12:1, see note, and περίκειται ἀσθένειαν is compassed about with weakness, Heb 5:2. See also clothed with shame, and with cursing, Psa 35:26; Psa 109:18. |

| Every priest standeth - As a servant in an humble posture. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Every priest standeth - The office of the Jewish priest is here compared with the office of our High Priest. The Jewish priest stands daily at the altar, like a servant ministering, repeating the same sacrifices; our High Priest offered himself once for all, and sat down at the right hand of God, as the only-begotten Son and Heir of all things, Heb 10:12. This continual offering argued the imperfection of the sacrifices. Our Lord's once offering, proves his was complete. |
4 For [1063] it is not possible [102] that the blood [129] of bulls [5022] and [2532] of goats [5131] should take away [851] sins [266].
12 But [1161] this man [846], after he had offered [4374] one [3391] sacrifice [2378] for [5228] sins [266] for [1519] ever [1336], sat down [2523] on [1722] the right hand [1188] of God [2316];
27 Who [3739] needeth [2192] [318] not [3756] daily [2596] [2250], as [5618] those high priests [749], to offer up [399] sacrifice [2378], first [4386] for [5228] his own [2398] sins [266], and then [1899] for the people's [2992]: for [1063] this [5124] he did [4160] once [2178], when he offered up [399] himself [1438].
1 For [1063] the law [3551] having [2192] a shadow [4639] of good things [18] to come [3195], and not [3756] the very [846] image [1504] of the things [4229], can [1410] never [3763] with those [846] sacrifices [2378] which [3739] they offered [4374] year by year [2596] [1763] continually [1519] [1336] make [5048] the comers thereunto [4334] perfect [5048].
9 Which [3748] was a figure [3850] for [1519] the time [2540] then present [1764], in [2596] which [3739] were offered [4374] both [5037] gifts [1435] and [2532] sacrifices [2378], that could [1410] not [3361] make [5048] him that did the service [3000] perfect [5048], as pertaining to [2596] the conscience [4893];
3 And thou shalt say [0559] unto them, This is the offering made by fire [0801] which ye shall offer [07126] unto the LORD [03068]; two [08147] lambs [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] without spot [08549] day by day [03117], for a continual [08548] burnt offering [05930].
5 There was [1096] in [1722] the days [2250] of Herod [2264], the king [935] of Judaea [2449], a certain [5100] priest [2409] named [3686] Zacharias [2197], of [1537] the course [2183] of Abia [7]: and [2532] his [846] wife [1135] was of [1537] the daughters [2364] of Aaron [2], and [2532] her [846] name [3686] was Elisabeth [1665].
23 For [1063] all [3956] have sinned [264], and [2532] come short [5302] of the glory [1391] of God [2316];
18 As he clothed [03847] himself with cursing [07045] like as with his garment [04055], so let it come [0935] into his bowels [07130] like water [04325], and like oil [08081] into his bones [06106].
26 Let them be ashamed [0954] and brought to confusion [02659] together [03162] that rejoice [08056] at mine hurt [07451]: let them be clothed [03847] with shame [01322] and dishonour [03639] that magnify [01431] themselves against me.
2 Who can [1410] have compassion [3356] on the ignorant [50], and [2532] on them that are out of the way [4105]; for [1893] that he [4029] himself [846] also [2532] is compassed [4029] with infirmity [769].
1 Wherefore [5105] seeing we also [2532] are [2192] compassed about [4029] [2254] with so great [5118] a cloud [3509] of witnesses [3144], let [659] us [2249] lay aside [659] every [3956] weight [3591], and [2532] the sin [266] which doth so easily beset [2139] us, and let us run [5143] with [1223] patience [5281] the race [73] that is set before [4295] us [2254],
13 And she shall put [05493] the raiment [08071] of her captivity [07628] from off her, and shall remain [03427] in thine house [01004], and bewail [01058] her father [01] and her mother [0517] a full [03117] month [03391]: and after [0310] that thou shalt go [0935] in unto her, and be her husband [01166], and she shall be thy wife [0802].
14 And she put [05493] her widow's [0491] garments [0899] off [05493] from her, and covered her [03680] with a vail [06809], and wrapped herself [05968], and sat in [03427] an open [05869] place [06607], which is by the way [01870] to Timnath [08553]; for she saw [07200] that Shelah [07956] was grown [01431], and she was not given [05414] unto him to wife [0802].
42 And Pharaoh [06547] took off [05493] his ring [02885] from his hand [03027], and put [05414] it upon Joseph's [03130] hand [03027], and arrayed [03847] him in vestures [0899] of fine linen [08336], and put [07760] a gold [02091] chain [07242] about his neck [06677];
16 Nevertheless [1161] when [2259] it [302] shall turn [1994] to [4314] the Lord [2962], the vail [2571] shall be taken away [4014].
3 Who [3739] being [5607] the brightness [541] of his glory [1391], and [2532] the express image [5481] of his [846] person [5287], and [5037] upholding [5342] all things [3956] by the word [4487] of his [846] power [1411], when he had [4160] [2512] by [1223] himself [1438] purged [4160] [2512] our [2257] sins [266], sat down [2523] on [1722] the right hand [1188] of the Majesty [3172] on [1722] high [5308];
23 And [2532] they [1526] truly [3303] were [1526] [1096] many [4119] priests [2409], because they were not suffered [2967] to continue [3887] by reason of [1223] death [2288]:
12 But [1161] this man [846], after he had offered [4374] one [3391] sacrifice [2378] for [5228] sins [266] for [1519] ever [1336], sat down [2523] on [1722] the right hand [1188] of God [2316];
