I am studying the book of Hebrews. Hebrews 5:1 implies that high priests were still appointed at the time this verse was written. Was it the jews that still appointed priests to sacrifice sins for them? It never occured to me that maybe the jews still continued to have high priests in the new testament and the high priests might have still offered sacrices for sins.
Btw the verse I am referring to is:
Hebrews 5:1
For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness.
3 Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.
4 And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.
