Hebrews10:11

11. And--a new point of contrast; the frequent repetition of the sacrifices.

priest--The oldest manuscripts read, "high priest." Though he did not in person stand "daily" offering sacrifices, he did so by the subordinate priests of whom, as well as of all Israel, he was the representative head. So "daily" is applied to the high priests (He 7:27).

standeth--the attitude of one ministering; in contrast to "sat down on the right hand of God," He 10:12, said of Christ; the posture of one being ministered to as a king.
