4. There is in the words the Time and Season of the performance of what is here ascribed unto these High Priests, as necessary for them. They were to do it, 1[Greek or Hebrew], Daily: that is, so often as occasion required according unto the Law. For there is no Reason to confine the Apostles intention unto the annual expiatory sacrifice only; as though [Greek or Hebrew] were the same with [Greek or Hebrew], Chap. 10. 1. Daily as much as Yearly. It is true that in that sacrifice the High Priest offered first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the People.

And unto this institution the Apostle here hath respect.

For that juge sacrificium had respect unto the sins of the whole Church both Priests and People. As we are obliged to pray for the pardon of sin every day, by vertue of that sacrifice which is , new and living in its efficacy continually, and as occasion did require. And so there was an Obligation on the Priest to offer for himself a sin-offering, as often as he sinned according to the sins of the People,
