Psalms 40:6-8
6 aIn sacrifice and offering you have not delighted,but you have given me an open bear. ▼
▼Hebrew ears you have dug for me
Burnt offering and sin offering
you have not required.

8 eI delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is fwithin my heart.”

Hebrews 4:15
15For we do not have a high priest nwho is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been otempted as we are, pyet without sin.Hebrews 5:4-6
4And qno one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, rjust as Aaron was.5So also Christ sdid not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,
t“You are my Son,
today I have begotten you”;
6as he says also in another place,
u“You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
