Hebrews 2:17
Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful high and faithful priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

ἀλλ' ἑαυτὸν ἐκένωσεν μορφὴν δούλου λαβών ἐν ὁμοιώματι ἀνθρώπων γενόμενος·
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Ἔχοντες οὖν ἀρχιερέα μέγαν διεληλυθότα τοὺς οὐρανούς Ἰησοῦν τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ κρατῶμεν τῆς ὁμολογίας
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
ἐπεὶ οὖν τὰ παιδία κεκοινώνηκεν σαρκός καὶ αἵματος καὶ αὐτὸς παραπλησίως μετέσχεν τῶν αὐτῶν ἵνα διὰ τοῦ θανάτου καταργήσῃ τὸν τὸ κράτος ἔχοντα τοῦ θανάτου τοῦτ' ἔστιν τὸν διάβολον
Forasmuch as then the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also took himself likewise part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
εἰ γὰρ ἐχθροὶ ὄντες κατηλλάγημεν τῷ θεῷ διὰ τοῦ θανάτου τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ πολλῷ μᾶλλον καταλλαγέντες σωθησόμεθα ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ·
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Τοιοῦτος γὰρ ἡμῖν ἔπρεπεν ἀρχιερεύς ὅσιος ἄκακος ἀμίαντος κεχωρισμένος ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν καὶ ὑψηλότερος τῶν οὐρανῶν γενόμενος
For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ καταλλάξαντος ἡμᾶς ἑαυτῷ διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ δόντος ἡμῖν τὴν διακονίαν τῆς καταλλαγῆς
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
καὶ Μωσῆς μὲν πιστὸς ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ὡς θεράπων εἰς μαρτύριον τῶν λαληθησομένων
And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
שָׁבֻעִים שִׁבְעִים נֶחְתַּךְ עַֽל-עַמְּךָ׀ וְעַל-עִיר קָדְשֶׁךָ לְכַלֵּא הַפֶּשַׁע (ולחתם) וּלְהָתֵם (חטאות) חַטָּאת וּלְכַפֵּר עָוֹן וּלְהָבִיא צֶדֶק עֹֽלָמִים וְלַחְתֹּם חָזוֹן וְנָבִיא וְלִמְשֹׁחַ קֹדֶשׁ קָֽדָשִֽׁים׃
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
ὅ τε γὰρ ἁγιάζων καὶ οἱ ἁγιαζόμενοι ἐξ ἑνὸς πάντες· δι' ἣν αἰτίαν οὐκ ἐπαισχύνεται ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοὺς καλεῖν
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Καὶ ὑμᾶς ποτε ὄντας ἀπηλλοτριωμένους καὶ ἐχθροὺς τῇ διανοίᾳ ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τοῖς πονηροῖς νυνί δέ ἀποκατήλλαξεν
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
καὶ ἀποκαταλλάξῃ τοὺς ἀμφοτέρους ἐν ἑνὶ σώματι τῷ θεῷ διὰ τοῦ σταυροῦ ἀποκτείνας τὴν ἔχθραν ἐν αὐτῷ
And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
ἔχω οὖν καύχησιν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τὰ πρὸς θεόν·
I have therefore whereof I may glory in through Jesus Christ those things which pertain to God.
ὁ νόμος γὰρ ἀνθρώπους καθίστησιν ἀρχιερεῖς ἔχοντας ἀσθένειαν ὁ λόγος δὲ τῆς ὁρκωμοσίας τῆς μετὰ τὸν νόμον υἱὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τετελειωμένον
For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
וַיִּשְׁחָט וַיִּקַּח מֹשֶׁה אֶת-הַדָּם וַיִּתֵּן עַל-קַרְנוֹת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ סָבִיב בְּאֶצְבָּעוֹ וַיְחַטֵּא אֶת-הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וְאֶת-הַדָּם יָצַק אֶל-יְסוֹד הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וַֽיְקַדְּשֵׁהוּ לְכַפֵּר עָלָֽיו׃
And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.
וְהָיָה צֶדֶק אֵזוֹר מָתְנָיו וְהָאֱמוּנָה אֵזוֹר חֲלָצָֽיו׃
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
וְכָל-חַטָּאת אֲשֶׁר יוּבָא מִדָּמָהּ אֶל-אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד לְכַפֵּר בַּקֹּדֶשׁ לֹא תֵֽאָכֵל בָּאֵשׁ תִּשָּׂרֵֽף׃
And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
וְכֵן תַּֽעֲשֶׂה בְּשִׁבְעָה בַחֹדֶשׁ מֵאִישׁ שֹׁגֶה וּמִפֶּתִי וְכִפַּרְתֶּם אֶת-הַבָּֽיִת׃
And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.
πιστὸν ὄντα τῷ ποιήσαντι αὐτὸν ὡς καὶ Μωσῆς ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
וְעַֽל-הַנָּשִׂיא יִהְיֶה הָעוֹלוֹת וְהַמִּנְחָה וְהַנֵּסֶךְ בַּחַגִּים וּבֶחֳדָשִׁים וּבַשַּׁבָּתוֹת בְּכָֽל-מוֹעֲדֵי בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל הֽוּא-יַעֲשֶׂה אֶת-הַחַטָּאת וְאֶת-הַמִּנְחָה וְאֶת-הָֽעוֹלָה וְאֶת-הַשְּׁלָמִים לְכַפֵּר בְּעַד בֵּֽית-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.
וַיִּשְׁחָטוּם הַכֹּהֲנִים וַֽיְחַטְּאוּ אֶת-דָּמָם הַמִּזְבֵּחָה לְכַפֵּר עַל-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי לְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל אָמַר הַמֶּלֶךְ הָֽעוֹלָה וְהַֽחַטָּֽאת׃
And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
