Hebrews 2:4

2:4 while God confirmed their witness ¹  with signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed ²  according to his will.

Hebrews 5:1

5:1 For every high priest is taken from among the people ³  and appointed ⁴  to represent them before God, ⁵  to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

Hebrews 8:3-4

8:3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. So this one too had to have something to offer. 8:4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer ⁶  the gifts prescribed by the law.

Hebrews 9:9

9:9 This was a symbol for the time then present, when gifts and sacrifices were offered that could not perfect the conscience of the worshiper.
