Discovery BoxHebrews 5:1-2 
Context5:1 For every high priest is taken from among the people 1 and appointed 2 to represent them before God, 3 to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. 5:2 He is able to deal compassionately with those who are ignorant and erring, since he also is subject to weakness,
1 tn Grk “from among men,” but since the point in context is shared humanity (rather than shared maleness), the plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) has been translated “people.”
2 tn Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”
3 tn Grk “appointed on behalf of people in reference to things relating to God.”
