Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place every year with blood of others;
nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place year by year with blood not his own;
And he did not have to make an offering of himself again and again, as the high priest goes into the holy place every year with blood which is not his;

nor yet that he should offer himself often; as the high priest entereth into the holy place year by year with blood not his own;
Nor yet that he should offer himself often - The sacrifice of Christ is not like that of the Jewish high priest; his must be offered every year, Christ has offered himself once for all: and this sacrificial act has ever the same efficacy, his crucified body being still a powerful and infinitely meritorious sacrifice before the throne.
Nor yet that he should offer himself often - The Jewish high priest entered the most holy place with blood once every year. In this respect the offering made by Christ, and the work which he performed, differed from that of the Jewish high priest. It was not needful that he should enter the holy place but once. Having entered there, he permanently remains there.
With the blood of others - That is, with the blood of calves, and goats. This is a second point in which the work of Christ differs from that of the Jewish high priest. Christ entered there with his own blood; notes on Hebrews 9:12.
