Chapter 5
Hebr OrthJBC 5:1  For every Kohen Gadol chosen from among bnei Adam receives semicha for the avodas kodesh of Hashem, that he may offer both minchot (gifts) and zevakhim (sacrifices) for chatta'im (sins);
Hebr OrthJBC 5:2  the Kohen Gadol is able to deal gently with the Am Ha'Aretz and Wayward, als (since) he himself is subject to helpless human frailty;
Hebr OrthJBC 5:3  and therefore he is obligated to offer zevakhim not only for the averos of the Am Berit but also for his own averos.
Hebr OrthJBC 5:4  And one does not presume to take the kavod of the office of Kohen Gadol upon oneself, but one must have the bechirah (choice, election) of Hashem, just as Aharon did.
Hebr OrthJBC 5:5  So also Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did not seize kavod for himself to become a Kohen Gadol, but the One having said to him, "BENI ATAH, ANI HAYOM YELIDTICHA," ("My Son you are; Today I have become your Father." Tehillim 2:7)
Hebr OrthJBC 5:6  says also in another passage, "ATAH KOHEN L'OLAM AL DIVRATI MALKI-TZEDEK ("You are a kohen forever according to the order of Malki-Tzedek" --Tehillim 110:4).
Hebr OrthJBC 5:7  Rebbi, Melech HaMoshiach, in the days of his earthly life, offered with a raised voice and tears both tefillos and techinnah (prayers of supplication) to the One who was able to deliver him from mavet, and Hashem heard him because of his chassidus.
Hebr OrthJBC 5:8  Although he was HaBen, Rebbi, Melech HaMoshiach learned mishma'at from his innuyim.
Hebr OrthJBC 5:9  And having been made shalem (complete), to all those with mishma'at toward Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, he became the source of Yeshu'at Eloheinu Olamim,
Hebr OrthJBC 5:10  having been designated by Hashem as Kohen Gadol AL DIVRATI MALKI-TZEDEK [Tehillim 110:4].
Hebr OrthJBC 5:11  We have much to say about this that is difficult to make a midrash, als (since) you have become spiritually hard of hearing.
Hebr OrthJBC 5:12  For indeed by this time you ought to be morim saying shiurim, but instead you have need again to be taught the orthodox Jewish basic ikkarim (principles) of the dvrei Hashem, and you have become one having need of chalav and not solid okhel.
Hebr OrthJBC 5:13  For everyone partaking of chalav is unacquainted with HaDivrei Tzedek, for he is an olal (infant).
Hebr OrthJBC 5:14  But solid okhel is for the mevugarim (mature ones), the ones whose keilim (faculties) have been trained by practice for distinguishing both HaTov vaHaRah.
