Robertson: Heb 5:3 - For himself

For himself ( peri heautou ).

Note peri three times here (peri tou laou ,peri heautou ,peri hamartiōn ), but in Heb 5:1 huper anthrōpōn ,huper hamartiōn . In the Koiné this interchange of peri (around) and huper (over) is common (Mat 26:28).

Vincent: Heb 5:3 - He ought

He ought ( ὀφείλει )

It is his duty, growing out of the fact of his own infirmity.

JFB: Heb 5:3 - by reason hereof

"on account of this" infirmity.

JFB: Heb 5:3 - he ought . . . also for himself, to offer for sins

The Levitical priest ought; in this our High Priest is superior to the Levitical. The second "for" is a different Greek term from the first; "in behalf of the people . . . on account of sins."

Clarke: Heb 5:3 - And by reason hereof

And by reason hereof - As he is also a transgressor of the commands of God, and unable to observe the law in its spirituality, he must offer sacrifices for sin, not only for the people, but for himself also: this must teach him to have a fellow feeling for others.

TSK: Heb 5:3 - as

as : Heb 7:27, Heb 9:7; Exo 29:12-19; Lev 4:3-12, Lev 8:14-21, Lev 9:7, Lev 16:6, Lev 16:15

Poole: Heb 5:3 - And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people // So also for himself, to offer for sins

This connection demonstrates the infirmity of the legal high priest: for this their infirmity, sins of ignorance and error.

And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people he was obliged to his work by the express law of God, Lev 1:1-17 . It is a rule for what the priests ought to do, and so is the whole book, to which they are to be punctually obedient, even to sacrifice for particular sinners in the church, as they were guilty and brought their sacrifice, Lev 4:1-35 , and for the whole church of Israel on the atonement day, Lev 16:15-34 .

So also for himself, to offer for sins he had also his proper sacrifice for his own sins commonly, Lev 4:3 , extraordinarily on the day of atonement annually, Lev 16:6-14 . It is not necessary to a priest to be a sinner, but it is to be merciful. Adam offered prayers and praises to his Creator for himself and Eve in innocency; but since the fall our Lord Jesus Christ is the only High Priest without sin, and yet most merciful, as well as most sensible of the sins and miseries of penitent believing sinners. He offers up the sacrifice to God truly propitiatory, as his types did the typical ones, and procured the pardon which God promised to give upon his so sacrificing to him.

Gill: Heb 5:3 - And by reason hereof // he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins

And by reason hereof,.... Because of his sinful infirmity:

he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins; as he offered sacrifice for the sins of the people, so he was obliged to offer for his own sins; in this Christ differed from the high priest, for he had no sin of his own to offer for, Heb 7:27 but he had, and therefore offered for them, Lev 16:11 and made a confession of them: the form of which, as used on the day of atonement, was this;

"he put both his hands upon the bullock, and confessed, and thus he said: I beseech thee, O Lord, I have done wickedly, I have transgressed, I have sinned before thee, I and my house; I beseech thee, O Lord, pardon the iniquities, transgressions, and sins, which I have done wickedly, transgressed, and sinned before thee, I and my house.''

And this he did a second time on that day ^z.
