Taketh the honour unto himself (eautw lambanei thn timhn). Dative case of personal interest (eautw). The priest was called of God. This is the ideal and was true of Aaron. The modern minister is not a priest, but he also should be a God-called man and not one who pushes himself into the ministry or into ecclesiastical office.
