A priest is chosen among men and appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. Like any other men, he too is a sinner and beset with weakness.
Because of this he is bound to offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people. He should not take honor upon himself but only for God who called upon him.
His model is Christ who did not exalt himself to be made a hight priest but was appointed by God who said to him, "Thous art my Son, today I have begotten thee".

FIRST FRUITS FOR GOD
Revelation 14: 1 - 5
1
Then I looked, and lo, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.
2
And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder; the voice I heard was like the sound of harpers playing on their harps,
3
and they sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.
4
It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are chaste; it is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes; these have been redeemed from mankind as first fruits for God and the Lamb,
5
and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are spotless.
