Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement

What does it mean that Jesus/Yeshua is [our] High Priest?

Hebrews 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and HighPriest of our profession, Christ Jesus/Yeshua HaMashiach.

Hebrews 4:14,15 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus/Yeshua HaMashiach: the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Hebrews 5:1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

Jesus/Yeshua: The High Priest Painting and Description

Hebrews 5:5 So also Christ (the Anointed One) glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but He (HaShem) that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

Hebrews 5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

Hebrews 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus/Yeshua, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec (without beginning or end).

Hebrews 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him.

Hebrews 7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

Hebrews 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; [even Yeshua].

Hebrews 8:3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer [for atonement].

Hebrews 9:7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

Hebrews 9:11 But Christ (Yeshua, the Anointed) being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; (but in heaven).

Hebrews 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

But once and for all entered in (the tabernacle in heaven) with His own blood TO MAKE ATONEMENT FOR ALL MEN; FIRST THE JEW AND THEN THE NON-JEW [Greek, heathen].
