Therefore it was right that in every thing he should be rendered like unto his brethren, that he might be compassionate, and a High Priest faithful in [fn] to Aloha, and become an expiation for the sins of the people.

For in this, that he hath suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

For greater is the glory of this (One) by far than (the glory) of Musha, even as the honour of him who built the house is far greater than [fn] his building.

For every house by some man is builded; but He who built all [fn] is Aloha.

And Musha, as a servant, was faithful in all his house, for the testimony of those [fn] that were to be announced [fn] him;

For we are made participators with [fn] the Meshiha, if, from the beginning and unto the end, in this very standing we steadfastly persist.

For who are they who heard and provoked him? Not all they who came out of Metsreen by the hand of Musha.

For we have been evangelized as well as they: but the word which they heard did not profit them, because not contempered with faith in them who heard it.

But we enter into the rest, we (being of) those (who) have believed. But as He hath said, So I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest: for, behold, the works of Aloha from the beginning of the world were.

For he who is entered into his rest hath also reposed himself from his works, as Aloha (did) from his.

For living is the Word of Aloha, and all-acting, and more penetrating than a two-edged sword [fn] , and entereth to the separation of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints, and of the marrow, and the bones, and discerneth the reasonings and counsel of the heart.

For we have not an high priest who cannot suffer along with our infirmity, but (one) who, [fn] tempted in every thing as we, (was) separate from sin.

16 Let us therefore approach with confidence [fn] to the throne of his grace, that we may receive mercy [fn] , and find grace for help in the time of affliction.

For every high priest who is from among men, on the behalf of men, standeth over those things which are of Aloha, to offer oblation and sacrifices for sins:

And on this account he is obligated as on the behalf of the people, so (also) for himself, to offer up for his sins.

So, too, in another place he saith, Thou art the Priest for ever, after the likeness of Malki-Zedek.

For ye ought to be teachers, on account of the time [fn] by you in learning; but now ye have need again to be taught those which are the first scriptures of the beginningwords of Aloha; and need have ye for milk, and not for solid food.

But for the perfect is solid food; those, (namely,) who, because exercised, have trained their senses to distinguish the good and the evil.

Wherefore let us leave the beginning of the word of the Meshiha, and let us come unto perfection. Or why again another foundation lay you for repentance from dead works, and for faith which is in Aloha,

and for the doctrine of ablution [fn] and of imposition of the hand [fn] , and for the resurrection from the place [fn] of the dead, and for the judgment which is eternal [fn] ?
