Hebrews 2:17

It behooved him; it was proper for him.

His brethren; of the human race.

To make reconciliation for the sins; more exactly, to make propitiation for the sins, which was the office of the Jewish high-priest. But he did it typically, by the blood of bulls and goats; Christ does it efficaciously, by his own blood. Chap Heb 9:12.

Hebrews 3:1

Wherefore; on account of the character and work of Christ as exhibited in the previous chapter.

Heavenly calling; by which God called and inclined them to prepare for heaven. Habitual contemplation of the character work, teaching, example, death, resurrection, intercession, government, and glory of Christ, is a powerful means of increasing the holiness of his people, and securing their perseverance in his service.

Hebrews 4:14-15

Profession; of faith in Christ.
