Commentary on Hebrews 8:3

Theological / Devotional

Ordained to offer. The work of the priests in the tabernacle consisted mostly in offering “gifts and sacrifices.” They were ordained for that purpose. Morning and evening they offered for the nation, and during the day they offered for individuals.

Somewhat also to offer. Compare chs. 5:1; 9:25.
