Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
Daily - `day by day.' The priests daily offered sacrifices (Hebrews 9:6; Hebrews 10:11; Exodus 29:38-42). The high priests took part in these daily-offered sacrifices only on festival days; but as they represented the whole priesthood, the daily offerings are attributed unto them: their exclusive function was to offer the atonement "once every year" (Hebrews 9:7), and "year by year continually" (Hebrews 10:1). The "daily" strictly belongs to Christ, "who needeth not daily, as those high priests (year by year, and their subordinate priests daily), to offer,' etc.
Offer up, х anaferein (G399) is peculiarly used of sacrifices for sin]. The high priest's double offering on the day of atonement, the bullock for himself, and the goat for the people's sins, had its counterpart in the TWO lambs offered daily by the ordinary priests. But Philo, The priests offered the lambs for the people, the flour for themselves.
This he did - not 'died first for His own sins and then the people's,' but 'offered up sacrifice' for the people's only. He needeth not to offer:
(1) daily; nor
(2) to offer for His own sins also: for He offered Himself once a spotless sacrifice (Hebrews 7:26; Hebrews 4:15). The sinless alone could offer for the sinful.
Once, х efapax (G2178) hapax (G530)] - 'once for all.' The sufficiency of the one sacrifice to atone for all sins forever, resulted from its absolute spotlessness.
