There is no Approach unto God without continual respect unto Sacrifice and Atonement. The principal end of Sacrifices was to make Atonement for sin. And so necessary was this to be done, that the Office of the Priesthood was appointed for it. Men do but dream of the Pardon of sin or acceptance with God without Atonement.

This the Apostle layeth down as that which was necessary for every High Priest by Gods Institution. There never was any High Priest, but his Office and Duty it was to Offer Gifts and Sacrifices, for unto that end was he ordained of God.
Hence he infers that it was necessary that This Man should have somewhat to Offer. For being a Minister of the Heavenly Sanctuary, and the true Tabernacle, an High Priest he was. But this he could not be, unless he had somewhat to offer unto God. A Priest that had nothing to offer, that was not ordained unto that end, is indeed no Priest at all.
