Hebrews 5:1

1 For every high priest is taken from among the people ^{▼▼ Grk “from among men,” but since the point in context is shared humanity (rather than shared maleness), the plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anqrōpōn) has been translated “people.”} and appointed ^{▼▼ Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”} to represent them before God, ^{▼▼ Grk “appointed on behalf of people in reference to things relating to God.”} to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
