to enter directly, as it is more appropriate for the High Priest to approach the Holy of Holies somewhat circuitously.

对此 拉比约西 可以对你说:以色列人是蒙神所爱的,因妥拉不要他们借一个中保——例如一位天使——替他们代求。
And in response to this Rabbi Yosei could have said to you: The Jewish people are beloved by God, as the Torah did not require them to make use of an agent, e.g., an angel, to intercede on their behalf.

神乃是直接听这民的祷告。
Instead, God hears the nation’s prayers directly.
-
因此在赎罪日代表百姓的大祭司,不必绕道走近。
Consequently, the High Priest, who represents the people on Yom Kippur, need not approach in a roundabout fashion.
