b. YLT: For such a chief priest did become us -- kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

d. Amplified Bible Classic: [Here is] the High Priest [perfectly adapted] to our needs, as was fitting—holy, blameless, unstained by sin, separated from sinners, and exalted higher than the heavens.

1. “For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless…”

a. For [Strong: 1063 gár, gar; a primary particle; properly, assigning a reason (used in argument, explanation or intensification; often with other particles):—and, as, because (that), but, even, for, indeed, no doubt, seeing, then, therefore, verily, what, why, yet.]

b. such [Strong: 5108 toioûtos, toy-oo'-tos; (including the other inflections); from G5104 and G3778; truly this, i.e. of this sort (to denote character or individuality):—like, such (an one).]

c. [an] high priest [Strong: 749 archiereús, ar-khee-er-yuce'; from G746 and G2409; the high-priest (literally, of the Jews, typically, Christ); by extension a chief priest:—chief (high) priest, chief of the priests.]

d. became [us] [Strong: 4241 prépō, prep'-o; apparently a primary verb; to tower up (be conspicuous), i.e. (by implication) to be suitable or proper (third person singular present indicative, often used impersonally, it is fit or right):—become, comely.]

e. us [Strong: 2254 prépō, prep'-o; apparently a primary verb; to tower up (be conspicuous), i.e. (by implication) to be suitable or proper (third person singular present indicative, often used impersonally, it is fit or right):—become, comely.]

  

f. [who is] holy [Strong: 3741 hósios, hos'-ee-os; of uncertain affinity; properly, right (by intrinsic or divine character; thus distinguished from G1342, which refers rather to human statutes and relations; from G2413, which denotes formal consecration; and from G40, which relates to purity from defilement), i.e. hallowed (pious, sacred, sure):—holy, mercy, shalt be.]

g. harmless [Strong: 172  ákakos, ak'-ak-os; from G1 (as a negative particle) and G2556; not bad, i.e. (objectively) innocent or (subjectively) unsuspecting:—harmless, simple.]

2.  “...undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;”

a. undefiled [Strong: 283 amíantos, am-ee'-an-tos; from G1 (as a negative particle) and a derivative of G3392; unsoiled, i.e. (figuratively) pure:—undefiled.]

b. separate [Strong: 5563  chōrízō, kho-rid'-zo; from G5561; to place room between, i.e. part; reflexively, to go away:—depart, put asunder, separate.]

c. from [Strong: 575 apó, apo'; a primary particle; "off," i.e. away (from something near), in various senses (of place, time, or relation; literal or figurative):—(X here-)after, ago, at, because of, before, by (the space of), for(-th), from, in, (out) of, off, (up-)on(-ce), since, with.]

d. sinners [Strong: 268 hamartōlós, ham-ar-to-los'; from G264; sinful, i.e. a sinner:—sinful, sinner.]

e. and [Strong: 2532 kaí, kahee; apparently, a primary particle, having a copulative and sometimes also a cumulative force; and, also, even, so then, too, etc.; often used in connection (or composition) with other particles or small words:—and, also, both, but, even, for, if, or, so, that, then, therefore, when, yet.]

  

g. made [Strong: 1096  gínomai, ghin'-om-ahee; a prolongation and middle voice form of a primary verb; to cause to be ("gen"-erate), i.e. (reflexively) to become (come into being), used with great latitude (literal, figurative, intensive, etc.):—arise, be assembled, be(-come, -fall, -have self), be brought (to pass), (be) come (to pass), continue, be divided, draw, be ended, fall, be finished, follow, be found, be fulfilled, + God forbid, grow, happen, have, be kept, be made, be married, be ordained to be, partake, pass, be performed, be published, require, seem, be showed, × soon as it was, sound, be taken, be turned, use, wax, will, would, be wrought.]

h. higher [Strong: 5308 hypsēlós, hoop-say-los'; from G5311; lofty (in place or character):—high(-er, -ly) (esteemed).]

j. heavens [Strong: 3772 ouranós, oo-ran-os'; perhaps from the same as G3735 (through the idea of elevation); the sky; by extension, heaven (as the abode of God); by implication, happiness, power, eternity; specially, the Gospel (Christianity):—air, heaven(-ly), sky.]
