Charles Ellicott Commentary Hebrews 9:25

"nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place year by year with blood not his own;" — Hebrews 9:25 (ASV)

Nor yet that he should—that is, Nor yet (did He enter into heaven) that He may offer Himself often. The connection has been pointed out already in the last Note. The "offering" which is here in thought does not correspond to the actual sacrifice of the sin-offerings on the Day of Atonement, but to the presentation of the blood in the Holiest Place. In this really consisted the presentation of that sacrifice to God. That this is the meaning here is shown by the contrast in the latter part of the verse, where we read of the high priest’s entering the Holy Place (that is, the Holy of Holies; see Note on Hebrews 9:2) with blood not his own, and by the argument of Hebrews 9:26.
