Hebrews 5
5
1For every Kohen Gadol taken from among Bnei Adam is ordained for men for the avodas kodesh of Hashem, that he may offer both minchot (gifts) and zevakhim (sacrifices) for chatta'im (sins).
2The Kohen Gadol is able to deal gently with the Am Ha'Aretz and Wayward, als (since) he himself is subject to helpless human frailty;
3and therefore he is obligated to offer zevakhim not only for the averos of the Am Berit but also for his own averos.
4And one does not presume to take the kavod of the office of Kohen Gadol upon oneself, but one must have the bechirah (choice, election) of Hashem, just as Aharon did.
5So also Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did not seize kavod for himself to become a Kohen Gadol, but the One having said to him, BENI ATAH, ANI HAYOM YELIDTICHA, (My Son you are; Today I have become your Father.)#5:5 Ps 2:7
6Says also in another passage, ATAH KOHEN L'OLAM AL DIVRATI MALKI-TZEDEK (You are a kohen forever according to the order of Malki-Tzedek).#5:6 Ps 110:4
7Rebbi, Melech HaMoshiach, in the days of his earthly life, offered with a raised voice and tears both tefillos and techinnah (prayers of supplication) to the One who was able to deliver him from mavet, and Hashem heard him because of his chasidus.
8Although he was HaBen, Rebbi, Melech HaMoshiach learned mishma'at from his yissurim.
9And having been made shalem (complete), to all those with mishma'at toward Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, he became the source of Yeshu'at Eloheinu Olamim,
10Having been designated by Hashem as Kohen Gadol AL DIVRATI MALKI-TZEDEK.#5:10 Ps 110:4
11We have much to say about this for which it is difficult to make a midrash, als (since) you have become spiritually hard-of-hearing.
12For indeed by this time you ought to be morim saying shiurim, but instead you have need again to be taught the orthodox Jewish basic ikarim (principles, essentials) of the Divrei Hashem, and you have become one having need of cholov and not solid okhel.
13For everyone partaking of cholov is unacquainted with HaDivrei Tzedek, for he is an olel (infant).
14But solid okhel is for the mevugarim (mature ones, adults), the ones whose keilim (faculties) have been trained by practice for distinguishing both HaTov and HaRah.

Hebrews 5
5
1For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: 2who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity. 3And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. 4And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. 5So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him,
Thou art my Son,
To day have I begotten thee.
6As he saith also in another place,
Thou art a priest for ever
After the order of Melchisedec.
7Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 10called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 12For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
