Daher mußte er in allen Dingen seinen Brüdern gleich werden, auf daß er barmherzig würde und ein treuer Hoherpriester vor Gott, zu versöhnen die Sünden des Volks.

En conséquence, il a dû être rendu semblable en toutes choses à ses frères, afin qu'il fût un souverain sacrificateur miséricordieux et fidèle dans le service de Dieu, pour faire l'expiation des péchés du peuple;
Laonde è convenuto ch’egli fosse in ogni cosa simile a’ fratelli; acciocchè fosse misericordioso, e fedel sommo sacerdote, nelle cose appartenenti a Dio, per fare il purgamento de’ peccati del popolo.
Por isso convinha que em tudo fosse semelhante aos irmãos, para ser misericordioso e fiel sumo sacerdote naquilo que é de Deus, para expiar os pecados do povo.
